Hi, Sandra,

Thank you very much for the draft.

he proposal is quite thoughtful to me. Fully agree to be focusing on b)
training for new officers.

I assume it refers to 1) "newly appointed ICANN high-level staff"; 2)
newly-selected/elected officers in ICANN constituencies (Board, ACs, SOs).
Perhaps the traning for these two categories should be separated for they
have different missions in the ICANN ecosystem.

I'm not sure if ICANN staff could be included in the faculty to provide the
training. If included, would that be implications for the budget required?
Staff
are already paid employees performing the duty. I assume the faculty be
primarily from the ICANN community, limiting the use of EE.

I'm sure most WG members will be interested in knowing any update from the
Program Committee, which consists of 5 (?) most distinguished experts in
this regard.

Happy the Year of Dragon!

Hong
