[NCUC-EC] ICANN61 additional seat in Leadership Course possibility - 7-9 March

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Dear EC

As per the Additional Budget Requests approved you can see below, NCUC
is eligible to one more seat in the Leadership Program.

This program was created by ICANN Academy and Chairs and leaders
attend it 3 days before the ICANN meeting. There is only hotel
funding.

When the Chair can not attend or when there is an additional seat, it
can be reassigned to an EC interested.

Note that this year ICANN61 Leadership Program clashes with NCUC
Policy Writing Course, which will be on the 9th March. We sought
guidance from the Leadership Program coordinator and the participants
from NCUC can miss the last afternoon to attend NCUC Policy Training.

I would like to know if there is an EC interested in doing this
course. It also would be best that this EC is committed to help
preparing the Policy Course, attending it and following up on webinars
previously and after the training, also evaluating membership
participation.

If there is more than one EC interested we'll have to start a selection process.

Please answer until 13dec. Applications for Leadership Program involve
2 written statements, negotiation w/ coordinator for confirmation and
are due in less than 3 weeks.
