Re: Glenn McKnight

#1  Target Audience
Expand audience with a  concentrated short refresher course

   - This idea reaches out to  help the  existing and current members
   providing an abbreviated ' top up or refresher' course especially
   beneficial to those individuals who are marginal participants or slow
   learners who need this type of course.



   - New staff,  new staff might also benefit not just senior staff in the
   short version.

#2  Type of Program: Face to Face
*
*
The training delivery strategy provides a opportunity for the adult
learners to get immersed into the comprehensive curriculum which is
augmented by relevant information exchange with the facilitators and senior
ICANN staff.

Each training module will be available after the training sessions as video
recordings and to be accessible through the ICANN Academy website. One
possible way to add multilingual support to the archive is to add subtitles
to the recordings. This is not covered by the current plan nor by its budget

# 3  Training Days*: 3 day program (20 hours)*

# 4 Materials:
Participant training materials including supplemental educational resources
will be made available in the private Wiki Workspace. Each course module
will be organized according to the module title, course objectives, course
deliverables, glossary, course outlines and workbooks. Each module will
incorporate the assigned reading assignments and slideshows and audio
visual resources.

# 5 *Curriculum*
*Note: the ordering within each of those categories, at the moment, is not
meant to represent priority or importance, just the order in which they
were thought about.*

*# 6 *
1. Core topics (Day 1)

These should be taught by specialist in the area, i.e. people who have
taught the subject before or who have done research in the area. While
primarily presentation in style they should include discussion session,
those could be done separate, i.e. a lecture with a chance for clarifying
questions, and then a seminar for those who want to delve deeper.
Some of the topics to be considered include:

*Some of the topics to be considered include:

   - Internet Fundamentals
      -
         -
      - What is DNS?
   - History, milestones and accomplishments of ICANN
   - ICANN Operation Overview including IANA
   - Internet governance Overview
   - Internet governance and ICANN’s roles and responsibilities
   - The multi-stakeholder model (concept and best practice)
   - ICANN's multi-stakeholders
   - Rights (human, privacy, property, trademark issues …):
   - Rights and ICANN’s role and responsibilities.
   - Competition, consumer trust and consumer choice
   - CCC and ICANN's role and responsibilities
   - Role of governments in the global Internet governance eco system

*

Fellow’s presentation to learn more about their background should be part
of the first day, this should be organised in a relaxed atmosphere (after
dinner for instance). This could also be a chance to introduce peer to peer
mentoring. (see proposal Siva and Glenn)

*#7*
*2. Specific ICANN training (Day 2)

These would be well suited to presentation by ICANN senior staff, and
Board/ACSO chairs/council/ExCom presenters. These would be best suited to a
Lecture and Q/A format. Perhaps practicum exercises could be included in
some of the topics (e.g. what does the budget form look like, how does one
do a request for information, how to deal with g-council proxy ...)

   - ICANN Mandate and Vision
   - ICANN organizational architecture
   - Introduction to the structure of an ICANN meeting
   - Introduction to the By-laws
   - How does the strategic planning work?
   - How do Operational and Budget planning work?
   - How do Working Groups function?
   - Compliance enforcement and ICANN
   - Specific Introduction to each of ACs and SOs; operations and dynamics
   - Specific Introduction to the Board; operations and dynamics

*
3. Current ICANN Issues

These can be taught by the chairs and other leaders of the various efforts.
Alternatively, the students in the class could do them as research
projects. These would be discussion topics more than lectures.

   - In depth discussion of all recently terminated public comment issues
   - In depth review of topics coming before the Board in the next 12 months
   - In depth review of all ongoing Policy Development Processes
   - In depth discussion of AOC reviews, past, current and future
   - Explanations of the new TLD programs (IDNccTLD, gTLD, both LDC Ascii
   and IDN)


(We can also use webinars to deepen the topics before or after the Academy
or the TechDay on Monday of each ICANN meeting)

4. Wrap Up after the IANN meeting (1/2 day)

Fellows should have the possibility to reflect their experience and get
clarification on specific issues.

Methodology
**
The core training fundamentals over the three day training period will take
the learner from an initial gradual introduction to a topic, onward to
illustrative examples and then to finally detailed practical application,
all with the goal to reinforce the concept so that the learner achieve
maximum understanding

Next Steps in preparation for Toronto Leadership Academy
**

   - Formulate the format for the courseware
   - Encourage end user feedback to improve curriculum
   - Modify curriculum with the feedback
   - Get approval for curriculum
   - Develop Course proposals
   - Create a job description of the facilitators
   - Start a pool of internal and external facilitators
   - Start training
   - Distribute online feedback from participants
   - Incorporate training feedback into new courseware
