>>>
>>>    - Connect with leaders from the other SOs/ACs and get an insight of
>>>    the functionality and issues in other groups
>>>    - Discuss current ICANN topics in-depth
>>>    - Deepen the understanding of 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, 4-5 March 2026, and participants will receive a stipend. Please

>>> Support (or by other means) for their flights to Mumbai for ICANN85.
