[NCUC-DISCUSS] Questions and talking points for ICANN CEO

[Ayden Férdeline]

No, I am not describing the Leadership Program, which from what I understand (I have not participated in it), focuses more on soft skills.

What I would like is for us to re-think what should be the purpose of the Intersessional, and to turn it more into a policy bootcamp whereby we get members up to speed every year on key topics, strategise for the year ahead, and work with other Stakeholder Groups to understand their perspectives.

And I don’t think we necessarily need all of our leaders at the Intersessional to do this. Some leaders yes, some veterans yes, some rising stars yes.

That’s my view,

Ayden

We certainly need the Chair of each Stakeholder Group/Constituency there, but does it always make sense to have other leaders there? Maybe, maybe not - I think we should be looking to invite members who are not yet in leadership positions but whom have the potential to grow into one.>
