All, Please see below regarding the leadership training programme. Apologies if you have not seen this before. Apparently a seat / place is available to the Council in addition to any other groups. If anyone is interested, please get in touch by reply all as soon as possible. Thanks, Jonathan From: Heidi Ullrich [mailto:Heidi.Ullrich@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 28 July 2014 18:24 To: jonathan.robinson@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: sandra hoferichter (info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx); David Kolb (kolb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx); Marika Konings; ICANN At-Large Staff Subject: Invitation to 2014 Leadership Training Programme Dear Jonathan, After a very successful pilot of the Leadership Training Programme (LTP) during the ICANN48 Meeting in Buenos Aires in November 2013, we are pleased to inform you that the next course is scheduled to take place 8-10 October 2014 in Los Angeles, one week prior to the ICANN51 meeting. For this programme again 1 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). You can find a preliminary programme attached. Accommodation for participants will be covered between Tuesday, 7 October and Friday, 10 October and participants will receive a stipend. Please note that flights will NOT be covered under this programme 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 Los Angeles ICANN51. We would like to ask you to identify 1 incoming or current leader from your stakeholder group, which is interested and available to participate in this programme and confirm by Friday, 15 August, or as soon as possible thereafter, to Sandra Hoferichter <mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and Heidi Ullrich <mailto:heidi.ullrich@xxxxxxxxx> . We hope this pilot programme will meet the needs of your community. It is an opportunity 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.
