[ICANN Academy WG] Draft outline for a Pilot Leadership Training Programme in Toronto

[Titi Akinsanmi Bolarinwa]

Good morning all,

Thanks you Sandra, Filiz for the attached. It's a good document but and it's a big but in my estimation non reflective of what I understand the ICANN academy is meant to achieve/fulfill/gap addressed.

Having read the proposed two day program - its not educational nor in its participant nature reflective of the academy. It reads as presenting ICANN as is by its leaders and staff to what is more than likely seasoned to a large extent ICANN participants.  Useful for someone entering leadership? Maybe maybe not. As a cross-ICANN sector facilitated interaction? Certainly. I don't see this as a tie in that can be called a pilot for the academy. In itself it does read as an introduction to ICANN - if that is the goal. It should thus not be confused or labelled as a pilot for the academy. 

My conclusion - 'good cross ICANN lets get to know and understand each other across sectors session' Yes, but certainly not an ICANN academy pilot. 

More work required to reshape and reflect what this WG has been laboring at? Most definitely! That isif indeed it's meant to be a pilot reflecting the future academy in its making.

Regards,

TT

While this process is ongoing, in early anticipation of the direction of the effort, a staff pilot project will be focused on the executive training of new SO-AC leaders on ICANN organisations, policymaking and related activities. The pilot would include usage of online tools where possible and an orientation session in Toronto. This pilot project should be seen as a first step in testing the overall concept and providing a basis for a future training program as well as experience to build on for future improvements if deemed necessary.

The WG is should review the pilot project critically and develop strategies and recommendations for future projects. To get a feedback from the participants this WG is asked to develop a survey, to be filled in by every participant in this programme.
