The programme is designed for<br class="">current /_and_/ incoming leaders, helping them to better understand<br class="">the complexity of ICANN and elaborate their facilitation skills. We<br class="">are aware that understanding ICANN as an organisation, the topics<br class="">discussed within ICANN and interaction within the other stakeholder<br class="">groups is challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for<br class="">experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are undertaking<br class="">considerable effort in order to help incoming leaders have a good<br class="">start in their term and provide current leaders the opportunity to<br class="">strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills.<br class="">Participants will have the chance to: <br class="">· meet leaders from the other AC/SOs,<br class="">· discuss ICANN hot policy topics in an in-depth manner,<br class="">· deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes<br class="">· develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal<br class="">effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes<br class="">· facilitate a session on a topic of their expertise and in<br class="">accordance to the curriculum (experienced leaders only)<br class="">The preliminary programme is attached .<br class=""><br class="">Accommodation for participants will be covered and participants will<br class="">receive a stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under<br class="">this programme as incoming leaders are normally covered by the regular<br class="">ICANN travel support. Please ensure that the leaders you select are<br class="">being covered by ICANN Travel Support for their flights to Dublin for<br class="">the ICANN 54 Meeting.<br class=""><br class="">*We would like to ask you to identify an** **incoming or current<br class="">leader** from your constituency, which are interested and available to<br class="">participate in this pro**gramme and ask them to register<br class="">at: <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/Leadership+Training+Program+Home" class="">https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/Leadership+Training+Program+Home</a> by<br class="">Monday, 31 August.***<br class=""><br class="">We hope this pilot programme will meet the needs of your community. It<br class="">is an offer for incoming leaders to get on board easier and should<br class="">provide current leaders the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of<br class="">ICANN policies and hone their facilitation and leadership skills. All<br class="">participants will be encouraged to partake in an open exchange of<br class="">their views as this will facilitate cross-constituency collaboration<br class="">later during their terms. <br class="">We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this<br class="">exciting Leadership Training Programme and look forward to having your<br class="">group’s participants confirmed.<br class=""><br class="">Kind regards,<br class="">Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy WG<br class="">Heidi Ullrich, Director for At-Large, Staff support for the LTP<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Ncuc-discuss mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:Ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org" class="">Ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org</a><br class="">http://lists.ncuc.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ncuc-discuss<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class="">-- <br class="">-----------------------------------------<br class="">Anriette Esterhuysen<br class="">Executive Director<br class="">Association for Progressive Communications<br class=""><a href="mailto:anriette@apc.org" class="">anriette@apc.org</a><br class="">www.apc.org<br class="">IM: ae_apc<br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
