Training Programme (LTP) 2015

Dear All,

Please find below a message in relation to the ICANN Leadership Training 
Programme. In addition to the candidates that are selected by the GNSO 
Stakeholder Groups, the Council is also able to select one representative. Note 
that 'the programme is designed for current and incoming leaders, helping them 
to better understand the complexity of ICANN and elaborate their facilitation 
skills’. If you or a member of your SG/C is interested in being considered for 
this slot, please submit your/their expression of interest to the Council 
mailing list as soon as possible. The official deadline for nominations has 
already passed, but the organisers of the Leadership Training Programme are 
aware that many of the leadership positions in the GNSO are still in the 
process of being filled. If more than one expression of interest is received, 
the Council may need to consider the process for selecting its representative 
for this training programme. For further information, please see below and 
attached.

Best regards,

Marika

Dear Jonathan,

With this email, we follow up on the presentation in Buenos Aires about the 
2015 Leadership Training Programme scheduled to take place in Dublin, 14 
through 16 October, one week prior to the ICANN 54 Meeting.

For this programme, ONE seat is reserved for a representative from your 
stakeholder group. The programme is designed for current and incoming leaders, 
helping them to better understand the complexity of ICANN and elaborate their 
facilitation skills. We are aware that understanding ICANN as an organisation, 
the topics discussed within ICANN and interaction within the other stakeholder 
groups is challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced 
leaders. ICANN and the community are undertaking considerable effort in order 
to help incoming leaders have a good start in their term and provide current 
leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills.
Participants will have the chance to:

·       meet leaders from the other AC/SOs,

·       discuss ICANN hot policy 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

·       facilitate a session on a topic of their expertise and in accordance to 
the curriculum (experienced leaders only)
The preliminary programme is attached .

Accommodation for participants will be covered and participants will receive a 
stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under this programme as 
incoming 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 Dublin for the ICANN 54 Meeting.

We would like to ask you to identify an incoming or current leader from your 
stakeholder group, which are interested and available to participate in this 
programme and ask them to register at: 
https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/Leadership+Training+Program+Home  by 
Monday, 31 August.

We hope this pilot programme will meet the needs of your community. It is an 
offer for incoming leaders to get on board easier and should provide current 
leaders the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of ICANN policies and hone 
their facilitation and leadership skills. All participants will be encouraged 
to partake in an open exchange of their views as this will facilitate 
cross-constituency collaboration later during their terms.
We are very happy to answer any questions you may have on this exciting 
Leadership Training Programme and look forward to having your group’s 
participants confirmed.

Kind regards,
Sandra Hoferichter, Chair of the ICANN Academy WG
Heidi Ullrich, Director for At-Large, Staff support for the LTP
