[NCSG-EC] Fwd: Invitation - RSVP - ICANN Leadership Program (LP) 2026

Thu Nov 13 13:20:21 EET 2025

Hi all,

With NCSG EC change, Wale won't have travel slot for Mumbai and I assume he
won't be able to attend. That opens the slot for leaderahip academy and we
have Pedro as alternate.

Best,

Rafik
