Update on NCSG Course

[farzaneh badii]

As you might know we received funding from ICANN to organize an NCSG course
to help members engage with policy at ICANN.

We primarily want this exercise to be used online so there will be a very
strong emphasis on online participation and materials to be able to use
after the face to face meeting.The face to face meeting will be held on 24
June but it will have remote participation available.

The one day face to face meeting in Panama is to shape the course, work on
the capacity building scenarios and improve them to be held online  and a
combination of experienced and inexperienced members who already had travel
support will be attending. Unfortunately, ABR had explicitly stated that no
travel support will be allocated for the full duration of the course so we
could not issue a call and send members without travel support. All the
NCSG councilors will be attending, a combination of NCUC and NPOC members
will be attending too who have travel support from fellowship program or
from GNSO. ICANN accepted to pay for their one-night extra stay from the
course budget.

The trainer will be Davide Kolb and he is designing the course with the
help of a group of us already engaged with policy.

we have emphasized that we want this course to be held primarily online so
that our members can use the materials, videos and webinars at any time and
be encouraged to join various policy groups. So there will be a very strong
remote participation component and two webinars before and after the event.
We will also use ICANN learn to turn this into a useful capacity building
course, available for everyone.


Best regards,

Farzaneh
