Leadership program for ICANN 61

[farzaneh badii]

Dear ncsg members

If you have already secured funding to go to ICANN 61 and are interested to
attend the leadership program below, please send me and Maryam an email and
express your interest. You should be in a leadership position already or an
incoming leader. You could also apply if you are not in a leadership
position though priority will go to the leaders and you can be an
alternate. Please do not apply individually for the course your  name
should be endorsed by NCSG EC first.

Please send in your SOI by 4th Jan. We need to endorse a name by 5th.


there is no specific criteria for endorsing other than being a leader and
not having attended the program previously so the allocation  will go to
the leader who sends in the request first. For alternates, they should
prove they are either in a leadership role or they are active members of
NCSG.

(Leader means you are an officer, for example an NCSG rep on Council, NCSG
EC,NCUC EC or NPOC EC).





Below is a description of the program:


*****

The ICANN Academy Leadership Program (LP) during the ICANN58 Meeting in
Copenhagen <https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/2017+Leadership+Program>was
another success and the next LP is scheduled to take place 7-9 March 2018,
prior to the ICANN61 meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.



For this program, ONE seat is reserved for a representative from your
stakeholder group. The program is designed for current *and*incoming
leaders, helping to increase understanding of the complexity of ICANN and
to develop facilitation skills. We are aware that understanding ICANN as an
organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and interaction within
other stakeholder groups is challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes
also for experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are making
considerable efforts in order to help incoming leaders have a good start to
their terms and to provide current leaders the opportunity to strengthen
their leadership and facilitation skills. Opportunities for Leadership
Program participants include the following:


   - Meet leaders from the other AC/SOs
   - Discuss important ICANN topics in an in-depth manner
   - Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes
   - Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal
   effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes





Accommodation for participants will be covered between Tuesday, 6 March and
Thursday, 8 March 2018, and participants will receive a stipend. Please
note that flights will NOT be covered under this program, as incoming and
current 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 Puerto Rico for ICANN61.
