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

Fri Aug 31 05:39:00 UTC 2012

Dear all,

the comment phase on the draft outline for the leadership training project
expires today. I like to thank all of you which contributed to the
discussion during the last days. I consider this dialogue as essential and
very fruitful. As a result I realised, there is no consensus on some basic
questions (i.e. target group, format, content, trainers). Furthermore the
result of the doodle reflects pretty clear that  the support for a pilot in
Toronto is not given at this stage. (see:
<http://doodle.com/4c4fa7dehuaksckx> http://doodle.com/4c4fa7dehuaksckx).
Also arranging the travel for prospective participants accordingly is
difficult to manage on such a short notice. On the other hand I see it
reconfirmed that a demand for a leadership training is given, but due to the
time constrains it is not possible to resolve all remaining issues. 

In the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget it is stated [excerpt]" . 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. This pilot project
should be seen as a first step in testing the overall concept.". At the time
when this operating plan was made, it was truly in the best sense to pick up
the effort so far and set up an test case. But to make it an valid testing
project it needs further input form all constituencies, because it should be
of benefit for the entire ICANN community and for ICANN as an organisation.
The WG just entered the discussion now. 

Therefore I recommend to postpone the pilot project for Toronto and continue
the with the work on the basic questions among all SO/AC/SG. I ask Filiz
herewith to take this recommendation into consideration.

I like to endorse Marilyn's proposal to have an additional meeting in
Toronto and will check the possibilities. The official WG workshop session
is scheduled for Wednesday 17 Oct 11:00 - 12:30 and I invite you herewith to
attend this meeting. 

My idea is :

1.       to continue the discussion on the mailing list and, where needed,
during a conference call

2.       have an additional drafting team meeting in Toronto 

3.       present and evaluate the results during the workshop on Wednesday
17 Oct

4.       start then with the preparation for a pilot in Beijing

Please let me know if you have other ideas or remarks.

I remain with best wishes

Sandra

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

Dear WG members,

after a summer break Filiz and I started working on a draft outline for the
pilot project in Toronto. Based on the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget and
the results of this working group so far, we present you herewith a draft
programme inviting you to comment. 

While drafting this outline we already discussed various options, how to
optimise it and what should be the focus. We expect that some of these
options will be raised in this mailing list and we are happy to answer any
questions and remain open for ideas, as long as they fit in the given
framework.

In the FY13 Operating Plan and Budget document it is stated:

<<<"The ICANN-Academy concept is still being developed and reviewed within
the SO-AC groups and further consensus is ongoing though a process led by
ALAC / At-Large. 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. ">>>

Furthermore this draft concept is based on the proposed curriculum. (see:

osal+%28as+of+18.02.2012%29.pdf?version=1

&modificationDate=1329954389000 ).

The comment phase is open until: 31 August 2012

Nominations for participants should be sent to filiz.yilmaz at icann.org until
1 September 2012

We are aware, that the discussion in the expanded WG is just about to start
and this outline will not cover all the needs and ideas, however this pilot
project should be see as a first step to build on an inclusive capacity
building programme within ICANN. 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. 

We are looking forward to your comments.

Sandra and Filiz
