for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN and the community are making considerable efforts in order 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: </span><o:p></o:p></p>
