[ICANN Academy WG] ICANN Academy budget proposal as of 22.12.2012

Fri Jan 13 13:14:26 UTC 2012

Dear all,
Staff coped effectively during the AFRALO capacity building workshop in Dakar. I don't see why it can't do the same during ICANN Academy training programs. Limiting use of EE will cut cost.

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!

Dear Working group members,

first of all let me please wish you a happy new year I hope you
started good! I apologise for this very long email in advanceJ

Following up with the call for comments on the budget proposal,
I have not seen much comments made on the working space. The internal deadline
for submitting this budget proposal approaches soon and I would like to get an
approval from the working group. https://community.icann.org/display/Improve/At-Large+ICANN+Academy+budget+proposal+as+of+22.12.2012+Workspace
. With this email I like to engage the discussion on the project and
specifically the budget.

Please allow me some remarks  in regard format
of an ICANN Academy:

The development of an ICANN Academy as a  wider approach
including online trainings to reaching out to a wider community was raised many
times by many WG members. It was demanded that the term “ICANN Academy”
should cover a more inclusive capacity building programme, than a 20 h lecture course
for future officers only. I agree generally with this approach, it was even
included it into the first proposal which is online since August 2011. 

See:

a)     
a general
introduction into ICANN course for newbie’s (based on the existing
lectures for participants in the fellowship program (financed by ICANN)

b)     
an
enhanced 20 hours lecture programme for new appointed ICANN officers for the
board, councils and advisory committees (financed by ICANN)

c)     
a general
programme for interested individuals (financed by participants fees and
sponsors)

Based
on this proposal we were specifically asked to work on point “b” ,
because “a” is in place already (fellowship programme) and for
“c” there are at least various elements already existing or under
development (existing Webinars, Capacity building programme like for AFRALO in
Dakar). I agree that the programmes under “a” and “c” must
be improved and developed,  and we (At-Large) should keep this as a focus. The
overarching idea should be to harmonise these different efforts
(a,b,c,…maybe d…). To develop an inclusive programme based on the
existing structures, it is a long term process and could be a future task for
ALAC to work on. We should underline this in our final proposal as an option
for development. The programme committee discussed, if we should rename the
project and decided to keep the name “ICANN Academy”, as it reached
already some kind of recognition within ICANN. 

Our
proposal includes two key issues:

1.      
Knowledge transfer to
incoming ICANN officers from all constituency’s, also board members

2.      
socialising aspect to foster
the cross constituency’s collaboration during
their active term

The format  of this “base camp” should be rather
simple with less technical and logistical equipment. The aim is to keep faculty
and trainees together to foster dialogue. They should be accommodated separately
and isolated from the ICANN meeting venue to experience the group intensively.

Glenn formulated a bunch of important
questions in confluence. Some of them are answered in
the existing proposal already (see: https://community.icann.org/display/Improve/ICANN+Academy+Proposal
) but some need to be discussed in the WG. I like to engage the discussion in
the WG and copy paste these questions in this email, amending some remarks in red:

General
Questions/Logistics

 How many trainees àabout 15-20 all new appointed ICANN officers (NomCom and
     delegated)
 How many sessions à3 days / 20 hours / approx. 4-5 sessions per day

 How many rooms à1 training room for the entire group

 How long are the sessions à90 min

 What is the training
     benchmarks\\\\ àKnowledge transfer to understand how ICANN
     functions, what is the mission of ICANN, what are the current policies and
     projects

Item:
One External Experts

Question

 How are external experts EE
     determined? àexternal Expert on demand only, the
     expectation is that most of the topics can be covered by experienced staff
     and community members
 What sections are EE would be
     required beyond staff and volunteers? àon
     demand only
 How many hours will the EE be
     required? àon demand only
 What is the proscribed teaching
     rates? àto be determinate

Preparation/Organization

Item Two Designation

Question

 Who
     will certify or designate the trainers and participants àin collaboration of staff and ICANN community (WG involving
     other constituencys) 
 Will the participants get a
     certificate of completion àyes
 Will the certificate of
     completion be only time based or will it require testing àtime based

Misc

Item Three Photos and Video

Question

 Video of lectures? ànot complete video coverage, snap shoots only for
     testimonials 
 Video for outreach required
     creating a edited promotional video created in advance of event

     to be produced indicating training deliverable àa
     video can be produced only during the first academy trial, to transport
     the idea and promote it and invite future trainees

Item
Facilitator and Participant Guide

 What kinds of teaching materials
     will be produced, Ebooks, Slideshows, Audio lecture etcà start simple with slides only and handouts in advance,
     but this is a point which should be developed and harmonised with other
     capacity building efforts
 Have
     you considered a MOODLE educational site to create and obtain end user
     feedback? àalso something to be improved under the overarching umbrella of
     an inclusive ICANN Academy, but may be not for this type of course

I look forward to your comments!

Best Sandra
