We are aware that understanding ICANN as an organisation, the topics discussed within ICANN and interaction within the other stakeholder groups is challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are undertaking considerable effort in order to help incoming leaders have a good start in their term and provide current leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Participants will have the chance to: <o:p></o:p></span></div><ul type="disc" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">meet leaders from the other AC/SOs;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">discuss ICANN hot policy topics in an in-depth manner;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">facilitate a session on a topic of their expertise and in accordance to the curriculum (experienced leaders only).<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">You can find a preliminary programme attached.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">Accommodation for participants will be covered between Tuesday, 7 October and Friday, 10 October and participants will receive a stipend.
