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>

<div>Stephane,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am unclear on the invitation. Is Olivier asking
for "the inclusion of some interested members of your
community," by which I assume it means the GNSO
overall or "a volunteer from your community" by which
I assume he means the Council or the Registrars?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As it is a working group, are the rules in the
At-Large different from those in the GNSO and thereby
limits those who can participate? <br>

<div>I have alerted the executive committee of the

Thanks Olivier,<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>
