<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you very much for your question on the ICANN Academy’s new pilot course on Intercultural Awareness. Apologies for the delay in replying.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As a point of clarification, this new pilot course is being designed and implemented by the community-based ICANN Academy Working Group along with Incite Learning, Inc., a professional development firm.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The creation of a course on intercultural awareness within the context of ICANN was requested by the participants of the 2017 ICANN Academy Leadership Program. The course will include one F2F session during
ICANN 60 as well as a series of follow up teleconferences. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The F2F session will include an overview of cultural intelligence, an interactive session featuring an ICANN panel representing the cultural diversity within ICANN and their cultural challenges at ICANN, as well
as a discussion of strategies for addressing the cultural challenges within the ICANN community. The teleconferences will focus on areas highlighted during the F2F session. This course will be very interactive and draw on the cultural expertise of the ICANN
community as well as the theoretical dimensions of intercultural awareness. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The ICANN Academy Working Group is open to all members of the community. Please let me know if you would like to join this group.
