[ICANN Academy WG] RES: post to list regarding pilot SO/AC Leadership training in Toronto

Thu Jul 12 13:20:27 UTC 2012

I agree with all the topics you listed.

I also think we should have sometime on

- How to chair meetings effectively
- What do we understand from consensus
- How to lead towards consensus building, what are the best practices and good examples

We already had a similar session on this in Costa Rica from Elad Levinson.
I had a chat with him already and he already offered and said could prepare a similar session for the pilot in Toronto too.

We should include how the SOs, ACs, Board and staff work together in unison to get things done in ICANN. What is the process flow between them. Terminology such as PDPs, Frameworks of Interpretation, WGs, Study groups, Council vs. Constituencies, etc. should be interpolated when explaining the processes. Also, there should be something about how to use the wiki's and how are they organized?

 Hi all,
I do believe we will be there to teach. Each one shall design your expertise
and offer to teach. That is what we can really do.
Let´s  considering also we demand to staff to include some issues we can
debate. For instante we shall teach intelectual property issues related to
names & numbers; we can teach security issues approach, we can talk about
the whole of ICANN, the whole of IGF, etc etc. someone can talk about
registrars, ISPs, registries, etc, and we will be the teachers. That the way
I see it quite easy to start in Toronto.
Best,

Leadership training in Toronto

Hi, always agree to keep the long-term goal but we may wish to think about
right now what role to play in the upcoming Pilot project in Toronto. The
staff has stated clearly in Prague that she (they) would be responsible for
designing the curriculum. Then what can we do? We haven't been "invited" to
involve yet. Are we observers?

etc.). To me (and various political experience in other fields), it was
conceivable that the last details and implementation steps would be the most
difficult and complex ones -- once such an initiative needs approval from
other constituencies. As we all know, there are no miracles at ICANN besides
compromises. And the implementation phase just follows usual ICANN
procedures (like take-over by staff in charge) so far. What may not be the
perpetual solution for the future?
