     Dear Stéphane,<br> Dear John,<br> <br> thank you for considering our 
invitation. <br> In sending invitations both to Stéphane and to Chairs of 
stakeholder groups, I wanted to keep the door as open as possible to whoever 
wanted to volunteer to be part of the working group. I realise that my 
knowledge of GNSO Council procedures and GNSO stakeholder groups is limited, 
hence if you feel that someone from Council should take part, whilst at the 
same time, someone from each Stakeholder group should take part, that's okay 
with me.<br> <br> The rules in At-Large regarding working groups do not limit 
who can take part, especially if there is a specific invitation to other 
SOs/ACs to take part.<br> <br> To answer Stéphane's comment, when presenting 
the proposal at the ICANN Costa Rica conference, we received many comments of 
support but also heard concerns, hence the wish to involve the whole ICANN 
community as early as possible. Happy to discuss this at your leisure.<br> <br> 
Kindest regards,<br> <br> Olivier<br> <br> <br> On 23/04/2012 17:53, Stéphane

<div>Stephane,</div> <div><br> </div> <div>I am unclear on the

<br> Thanks Olivier,<br> <br> I am copying the GNSO Council on my response to 
you, so that they are informed and can in turn inform their respective groups 
and communities. I am also copying the other SO and AC Chairs as I believe the 
concept of an ICANN academy is relevant to all of them.<br> <br> As an initial 
comment, I want to thank ALAC for reaching out and for laying down the 
groundwork on this concept.<br> <br> Although I think the idea of a WG on the 
academy is great, I am surprised however that the mandate for this WG should be 
"to finalize a proposed curriculum" for the academy. It feels like we are 
getting slightly ahead of ourselves if that's the case and that the WG should 
start by looking to see if the academy should happen at all. I understand that 
ALAC thinks it should and has already worked hard on it, but surely the other 
communities should also be given a chance to either sign on or sign off before 
ICANN as a whole moves ahead on this.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> Stéphane<br> 
<br> <br> <br> Le 21 avr. 2012 à 16:49, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond a écrit :<br> 
<br> &gt; Dear Stéphane,<br> &gt; <br> &gt; During the ICANN meeting in San 
Jose, the ALAC presented the proposal<br> &gt; for an ICANN Academy, a program 
for people selected by the various ICANN<br> &gt; communities and the NomCom to 
be more effective when they take their<br> &gt; position and that would 
complement other ICANN capacity building<br> &gt; activities. As part of that 
presentation, I announced that we would be<br> &gt; inviting all ICANN 
communities to participate in the further development<br> &gt; of this 
proposal.<br> &gt; <br> &gt; The initiative for the ICANN Academy was initially 
conceived by At-Large<br> &gt; members as a comprehensive stand-alone project, 
which would include a<br> &gt; variety of educational offerings for all ICANN 
participants. On review<br> &gt; of various options and based on the existence 
of the current ongoing<br> &gt; other efforts such as Fellowship Program, 
Newcomers’ Tracks and Lounge,<br> &gt; ICANN staff expressed an immediate need 
to provide a capacity building<br> &gt; program for the future leaders of 
ICANN, those whose term starts at the<br> &gt; end of 2012 AGM in Toronto. The 
ALAC formed a Working Group to develop a<br> &gt; program to respond to this 
specific need and organized it as a pilot<br> &gt; operation.<br> &gt; <br> 
&gt; The first draft of this pilot program for new ICANN leaders was<br> &gt; 
presented recently at the ICANN meeting in San Jose. While the feedback<br> 
&gt; was favorable, it also supported that there was a growing need for<br> 
&gt; learning opportunities also among other constituencies<br> &gt; <br> &gt; 
The At-Large community views the ICANN Academy as an ICANN project<br> &gt; 
initiated by At-Large that needs further community support in order to<br> &gt; 
realize its full potential. As a result, we wish to invite members of<br> &gt; 
other advisory committees, the supporting organizations and the various<br> 
&gt; constituencies in the GNSO to join us in the Academy Working Group, to<br> 
&gt; contribute actively in furthering the concept and curriculum.<br> &gt; 
<br> &gt; Therefore, I kindly invite you to consider the inclusion of some<br> 
&gt; interested members of your community in the Academy Working Group to<br> 
&gt; finalize a proposed curriculum and the faculty for this pilot 
operation,<br> &gt; and to continue later on developing the aspects of the 
comprehensive<br> &gt; project together with ICANN Staff.<br> &gt; It is 
absolutely vital that at least one person from your constituency<br> &gt; takes 
part in the designing of the academic program. Just as the best<br> &gt; source 
of information about ALAC matters is an At-Large community<br> &gt; member, we 
believe that the best source of information for your<br> &gt; constituency's 
work is someone from your constituency. This will ensure<br> &gt; a *fair and 
balanced point of view* expressed to Academy participants -<br> &gt; a 
foundation feature of the ICANN Academy.<br> &gt; I look forward to hearing 
from you about a volunteer from your community<br> &gt; to take part in the 
working group as soon as possible, but certainly<br> &gt; before 30 April 
2012.<br> &gt; <br> &gt; Warmest regards,<br> &gt; <br> &gt; Olivier 
Crépin-Leblond,<br> &gt; ALAC Chair<br> &gt; <br> <br> <br> </div>
