[NCSG-EC] Fwd: Invitation - RSVP - ICANN Leadership Program (LP) 2023

[Johan Helsingius]

Seems we need to put out another request for expressions of interest.
I know Manju is interested (and deserving), and I wouldn't mind doing
it myself as well (never had a chance, when I first joined Council
staff informed me too late).

Dear Julf,

We are now preparing for the 7^th edition of the ICANN Academy 
Leadership Program (LP), which is scheduled to take place 9-10 March 
2023, two days prior to the official start of ICANN76 in Cancún, Mexico. 
This will be the first LP since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 
we are looking forward to holding the program once again.

For this program, one seat is reserved for a representative from the 
NCSG. The program is designed for current /_and_/incoming leaders, 
helping to increase understanding of the complexity of ICANN and to 
develop facilitation skills, as well as building a network with other 
leaders. We are aware that understanding ICANN as an organization, the 
topics discussed within ICANN, and interaction within other stakeholder 
groups can be 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 SOs/ACs and get an insight of the
     functionality and issues in other groups
   * Discuss current 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

A preliminary agenda is attached to this email. Kindly note that this is 
subject to change.

Accommodation for participants will be covered between Wednesday and 
Thursday, 8-9 March 2023, 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 Cancun for ICANN76.

We would like to ask you to identify one incoming or current leader from 
your stakeholder group who is interested and available to participate in 
this program. We recommend that you also identify an alternate candidate.

*Kindly forward us the names and email addresses of the endorsed 
individuals no later than Thursday, 10 November 2022, and ask them to 
register **here* <https://forms.gle/AC92KLTe6vfNA3MW9>***by Monday, 14 
November 2022 at 23:59 UTC.*

We hope this program will meet the needs of your community. All 
participants will be encouraged to partake in an open exchange of their 
views, as this will help facilitate cross-constituency collaboration 
during their terms.

We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this exciting 
LP and look forward to having your group’s participants confirmed.

Kind regards,

Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy Working Group

Fernanda Iunes, Senior Program Coordinator, ICANN Public Responsibility
