[NCSG-PC] Leadership program/ ICANN 64

[farzaneh badii]

Here is what I sent to NCSG EC. i don't know if EC will have a different
process but I believe those who are interested should have their brief
statement of interest ready.

Hi everyone,

Among the EC someone has to pick this task up. Note that what we did before
was to make a call to NCSG EC and NCSG PC and see who would be interested,.
Note that preferably current or incoming leaders should be recommended for
the program. we don't have a selection process for this normally when non
of the leaders in PC nor EC applied for it then the call went to the
general membership list with a deadline. If more than one leader is
interested, normally they discuss and one goes away in favor of the other
or becomes an alternate. I will send this call to PC as well  t since I am
not chair I will not get involved with setting deadlines and a lightweight
process like before. Please volunteer and take up this task.



The ICANN Academy Leadership Program (LP) during the ICANN61 Meeting in
Puerto Rico
<https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/2018+Leadership+Program> was
another success and we are now preparing the 6th edition that is scheduled
to take place 7-8 March 2019, two days prior to the official start of
ICANN64 in Kobe, Japan.



For this program, one (1) 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 program is attached to this email. Kindly note that this is
subject to change.

Accommodation for participants will be covered between Wednesday and
Thursday, 6-7 March 2019, 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 Kobe for ICANN64.



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, 8 November 2018*, and ask them to register here
<https://goo.gl/forms/HAInCnPEwsYRxKFs2> by 23:59 UTC on 8 November as well.



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
