Dear Rafik,



We are now preparing for the 10th edition of the ICANN Leadership Program
(LP), which is scheduled to take place 11-12 March 2027, two days prior to
the official start of ICANN88 in Lisbon, Portugal.



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 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, 10-11 March 2027, 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 Lisbon for ICANN88.



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** Monday,* *30 November 2026**, and ask them to
register **here <https://forms.gle/UyT2WECqmjC6ZuMh8>* *by Wednesday, 2
December 2026.*



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 happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to
having your group’s participants confirmed.



Kind regards,

Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy Working Group
Fernanda Iunes, Sr. Capacity Development Manager, ICANN
