[NCUC-DISCUSS] Invitation ICANN Leadership Training Programme (LTP) 2015

[William Drake]

Hello

People who attended (in person or remotely) our Constituency Day meeting in Buenos Aires will recall that we had a visit from Sandra Hoferichter to talk about the ICANN Academy program.  We now have below a formal invitation to submit the name of a person that NCUC would send to participate (NCSG gets one slot as well).  This should be someone who is or hopes to be involved in some sort of elected or appointed ‘leadership’ or representative capacity working not only with NCUCers but interfacing with the larger ICANN ‘community.’  The person would go early to the Dublin meeting in October to participate in the three day training (see attached agenda).  Hotel costs for those nights would be covered, but flights and hotel for the rest of the Dublin meeting would not. 

People who’ve done this previously, such as Roy Balleste of the NCUC EC, generally have spoken well of the program.  So do think about whether it would be of interest, and if so send me a couple paragraphs explaining your interest.  Please do this by Friday August 21, COB on earth.  The EC will review the applications and make a decision in order to notify the program by their August 31 deadline.

Thanks

Bill

> Dear Bill,
> 
> With this email, we follow up on the presentation in Buenos Aires about the 2015 Leadership Training Programme scheduled to take place in Dublin, 14 through 16 October, one week prior to the ICANN 54 Meeting.
> 
> For this programme, ONE seat is reserved for a representative from your constituency. The programme is designed for current and incoming leaders, helping them to better understand the complexity of ICANN and elaborate their facilitation skills. 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.
> Participants will have the chance to:  
> ·       meet leaders from the other AC/SOs,
> ·       discuss ICANN hot policy topics in an in-depth manner,
> ·       deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes
> ·       develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes
> ·       facilitate a session on a topic of their expertise and in accordance to the curriculum (experienced leaders only)
> The preliminary programme is attached .
> 
> Accommodation for participants will be covered and participants will receive a stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under this programme as incoming leaders are normally covered by the regular ICANN travel support. Please ensure that the leaders you select are being covered by ICANN Travel Support for their flights to Dublin for the ICANN 54 Meeting.
> 
> We would like to ask you to identify an incoming or current leader from your constituency, which are interested and available to participate in this programme and ask them to register at: https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/Leadership+Training+Program+Home <https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/Leadership+Training+Program+Home>  by Monday, 31 August.
> 
> We hope this pilot programme will meet the needs of your community. It is an offer for incoming leaders to get on board easier and should provide current leaders the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of ICANN policies and hone their facilitation and leadership skills. All participants will be encouraged to partake in an open exchange of their views as this will facilitate cross-constituency collaboration later during their terms.  
> We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this exciting Leadership Training Programme and look forward to having your group’s participants confirmed.
> 
> Kind regards,
> Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy WG
> Heidi Ullrich, Director for At-Large, Staff support for the LTP
