<div>I have to say, I didn't read that attachment and walk away feeling excited. It isn't clear to me what the content of this course will actually entail. "Develop policy making skills, including consensus-building and negotiation, in the ICANN context" is very vague. Are we re-inventing the wheel here -- do we want this workshop to be different to the NCUC policy writing one, or might it be better just to run that again (adjusted for the NCSG) with the same trainer? I know procurement is really out of our hands so this might be unrealistic... but still, the course objectives sound a little whimsical to me, and the new trainer is not one who comes highly recommended, from what I've heard from ICANN Academy alumni...<br></div><div><br></div><div>Ayden  <br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On 7 March 2018 11:09 PM, farzaneh badii <farzaneh.badii@gmail.com> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">All<br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Please find attached the draft course proposal for NCSG policy course. David Kolbe will be the trainer and we can get involved with designing it. <br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">I am gonna meet with David on Friday, if you have comments, let me know.<br></div><div style="outline:none;padding:10px 0px;width:22px;margin:2px 0px 0px;color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial" class="gmail-yj6qo gmail-ajU"><div style="background-color:rgb(241,241,241);border:1px solid rgb(221,221,221);clear:both;line-height:6px;outline:none;width:20px" tabindex="0" class="gmail-ajR" id="gmail-:2uh"><img style="background: url("//ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/ellipsis.png") no-repeat; height: 8px; opacity: 0.3; width: 20px;" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" class="gmail-ajT proton-embedded"><br></div></div></div><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><span class="font" style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">Farzaneh</span><br></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>
