[NCUC-DISCUSS] Save the date: NCUC Policy Course at ICANN61 Puerto Rico

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi everyone

We are getting closer to a new experience for those who want to engage
more in policy in ICANN

Save the date:
9th March 2018
NCUC Policy Course

This project was approved as an additional budget request last year
and is not compounded with any travel funding.

There may be pre and post webinars to accompany the course.

You'll be invited to take advantage of the course also via remote participation.

We'll bring you more details soon.

1. FY18-15-NCUC -Policy Practicum and Policy Advocacy Training
Request  for  NCUC  member  training  in  policy  writing  skills  for
 PDP  participation  and contribution to ICANN public comment
process.(Yes)(20,000)(Duncan Burns)

The ICANN Communications Team and the ICANN Learn Team will
collaborate with the  Non  Commercial Users Constituency
(NCUC)leadership to  develop content and to hold  preparatory
webinars  as  required  leading  up  to a pilot face-to-face  training
course  at  ICANN61with  an  external  consultant during  the  regular
 public  meeting schedule. The face-to-face training at ICANN61 will
focus  on  skills  development  for policy  writing. Additional
resources flexibility is not available in  FY18 to  support additional
 travelers for  the  travel component of  this  request, but the  NCUC
 is encouraged to identify interested community members who will
already be attending the ICANN61 meeting to sign up for the
face-to-face component of this training effort. On a pilot  basis,
additional  webinars  could  be  incorporated  into  this  program  as
 a substitute for students who cannot participate in the face-to-face
training.

Best,

Renata Aquino Ribeiro
