[NCUC-EC] Leadership Academy

Thu Sep 19 17:29:25 CEST 2013

Hi Bill,

It’s unclear to me as to whom the programme is targeted at. Another way of
putting it, is I’m not sure the content and level is one for which you
should be a teacher or a student. ☺

If you think that you have the time and would benefit from attending the
Academy then by all means you should be the one to go. If you can’t give
the time or think the level would be such you would not benefit from
participation then there are a few approaches we can take:

- Tapani has indicated interest and if the has the time and feels he could
benefit from the Academy he would be a fine selection.

- I’m happy to throw it open to the list and see who is interested and then
quickly make a decision. We don’t have a lot of time, though, before a
response is needed.

>From a personal perspective I could definitely use the training and
experience. I’m finding in the WG’s I’m participating in things move so
fast I’m often trying to sort point A when the discussion has moved to
point B. Part 3 is of particular interest and I think all of us could use
part 2. In fact, if Part 2 is considered worthwhile by the attendee you
might want to think about doing a condensed version of same at the EC
retreat you have planned for Singapore.

Despite my interest, I’d prefer to focus on the business at hand leading
into Buenos Aires so don’t want to be considered for this intake. It is
something I’m sure I’d like to be considered for in the future. Steep
learning curve here: anything that can help is a plus.

Hi

Any thoughts on who from NCUC we could offer to send early to BA for some
capacity building?  I guess it has to be someone with their flight already
paid for…

If there's no personal interest or suggestions here I can forward to
-discuss…

Dear All,

We are aware  that understanding ICANN as an organisation, including the
topics discussed within ICANN and interaction within the other stakeholder
groups, can be  challenging for incoming leaders as well as also for
experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are undertaking a lot of
effort in order to ensure that incoming leaders have a good start in their
term and that current leaders are provided the opportunity to strengthen
their leadership and facilitation skills.

The concept of developing various courses and educational tools under the
auspices of the ICANN Academy has been planned for the last two years
within ICANN and its Community.  The ICANN Academy Working Group is pleased
to announce that one module of the ICANN Academy, a pilot Leadership
Training Programme, is being organised for the week prior to the upcoming
ICANN  meeting in Buenos Aires.

This programme is especially designed for current and incoming leaders and
consists of 4 interconnected part:

PART 1: Basic knowledge transfer (Online Learning Platform / Mandatory for
incoming leaders)
PART 2: Facilitation Skills Training (13-14 Nov) - This part will focus on
the tools and skills of personal effectiveness and facilitation.  Included
in the topics to be covered are:  conflict handling, understanding
operating style differences, dealing with disruptive behaviours, building
consensus, and managing meetings.
PART 3: Orientation Training WG (15-16 Nov) - This part will focus on,
among other issues, an introduction to each of ACs and SOs, covering their
operations and dynamics; Balancing rights and obligations; Explanations of
the new TLD programs, i.e. IDN, ccTLDs, and New gTLDs – both traditional
and IDN; and an in depth review of topics coming before the Board in the
next 12 months as well as on-going Policy Development Processes.
PART 4: Wrap up /Feedback from the participants and trainers - This part
will take place post-Buenos Aires; exact timing to be determined.

For the GNSO a total of 9 slots are being offered.

As NomCom Selectees to the GNSO, Daniel Reed and Thomas Rickert have been
invited.

In addition, we would like to ask you to identify the following numbers of
incoming or current leaders from the GNSO’s Stakeholder Groups who are
interested in participating in the Leadership Training activities:

Registries – 1
Registrars - 1
Business Constituency (BC) - 1
Internet Service Providers (ISP) - 1
Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC) - 1
Non Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) - 1
Not-for-Profit Operational Concerns (NPOC) - 1

Please could you send the names of interested leaders by Monday, 23
September to Sandra Hoferichter and Heidi Ullrich.

As all 4 parts of the programme are interconnected, we recommend all
participants to participate in the 4 Parts as the curriculum is created
subsequently. Detailed information can be found in the draft curriculum
enclosed. The curriculum will be further detailed closer to the event.

Please note: Participants for the Leadership Training Programme will
receive travel support including accommodation and stipend for the duration
of this programme. 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 Buenos Aires for ICANN 48.

We hope this pilot programme will meet the needs of your community. It is
an offer to for incoming leaders to get on board easier and should provide
current leaders the opportunity to elaborate their facilitation skills and
increase their knowledge of ICANN issues. 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.

As this is a pilot, the feedback of the initial participants will key to
developing future Academy activities.

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
David Kolb, Support for the Facilitation Skills Training
Heidi Ullrich, Director for At-Large, Staff support for the Orientation
Training
