[ICANN Academy WG] Pilot leadership training in Toronto - decision on the dates

Wed Aug 29 14:29:58 UTC 2012

Thanks, Alain.

To me, 'leaders' at ICANN encompasses a wide range of different 'types'. And that can range from those who are active participants to someone who is appointed, or elected to a specified role. I would not limit capacity building/skills enhancement/orientation to only a narrow group of 'leaders', as you know from my earlier comments. 
But to respond to your specific question:  For instance, it is up to the SOs and ACs how they 'select' their leaders, whether they appoint, or elect.  
Board members are mixed in selection mechanism - 6 are elected via processes determined by their selecting organization -- the three SOs -- ASO, ccNSO, GNSO -- two per SO. The Nominating Committee appoints 8 Board members in a process established by the ICANN bylaws.  
Hence my reference to elected or appointed.

Dear Marilyn, thanks for comprehensive remarks. Just for the record, community leaders at ICANN are elected not appointed, right?
Dear Chuck,
Thanks for your comments. I am in agreement that the target audience should be clearly defined: how about community leaders that are not ICANN veterans? What ever training audience is strategically selected, a training needs' assessment must be carried out in order to design a relevant curriculum.

Dear Chuck, I agree with you perception, it is a diverse group, with
a different level of experience and we do not finally know to which degree we
are dealing with more experienced and less experienced participants. 

You are right, this makes it difficult to set up an curriculum. In
our draft proposal we tried to consider this issue, (“Some of these
participants are also noted as suggested speakers for certain sessions …
so they are seen as both, trainee and trainer. While they provide an inside
look into the community as they represent, they also learn more about the focus
of other groups.”) 

I understand from the comments here, that the result was not
sufficient and also the discussion about the target group should be continued
here.

Sandra,

You absolutely may object and that is healthy, but please help
me understand.  I know the ultimate goal is as you state and I fully
support that, but look at the list of 32 attendees.  As I previously
pointed out on this list: the overwhelming majority of the 32 are ‘experienced and well trained in ICANN matters’; there may be some of the NCAs that are not; and it
could be that there are new SO/AC Board appointees that are not.  If there
are a lot of substitutes for the identified 32, it is possible that they would
benefit from the curriculum proposed but we don’t have enough information
in that regard.  Like was well pointed out by others, we need to know our
audience and make sure our learning objectives meet their needs.

If I am missing something here, please show me.

Chuck

Dear Chuck, may I object at this point:

[Gomes, Chuck]  The large majority of potential trainees
are also ‘experienced and well trained in ICANN matters’.

The original idea of, what we recently called ICANN Academy,
came up because this is not the case. There are people joining ICANN where it
is required that they take over responsibility pretty soon and they have not
entirely understood the organisation, nor they know their counterparts in other
SO /AC /SG and their focus.  

It even turns out, that changing constituencies within ICANN
offers surprises for many among us. We received this feedback from NomCom
elections, Board members, ALAC reps and many others. Participating in the
