Dear Sandra,
I posted the following comments :
*It is a good start* to think of "ICANN Academy" as a three day program for
15 - 25 participants. But the total number of new community leaders and new
Executive Staff at ICANN every year is a lot more. Starting from the ICANN
Board, we could count new comers to Advisory Committees, Supporting
Organizations, Executive Staff .. include newcomers to the various
Stakeholder Groups, particularly new Registrars, new Registries, ISPs, any
new NomCom appointees drawn from outside ICANN, and include ccTLD
Registries and large ccTLD Registrars, whether or not fully a part of the
ICANN process - all form part of the target audience.
The training at the Academy could be mandatory for those who submit a
statement of interest for Board, AC and SO positions. For newcomers as
members to the Registry, Registrar and the ISP constituencies, the program
at the Academy could be optional.
Over and above this core target group, there could be an extended circle of
potential participants. This could include elected or nominated Community
Leaders from IANA, NRO and Regional NICs and top executives of the National
Internet Exchange points.
ICANN Academy could be open to participation of Governmental and
non-governmental organizations around the world that oversee DNS functions.
With such a larger target group, it is possible to have a revenue model for
the Academy. Course Fee could be set at about $3000 per week, but ICANN
could pay for the Community participants excluding GAC nominees of affluent
countries, representatives of large Registries and Registrars. ICANN could
offer (and encourage other institutions to offer) some fellowships for some
of the participants from outside the ICANN community.
The course content could be on two levels: Level 1 could be the general and
fundamental level on Internet 'Fundamentals in Depth' and Level 2 could be
ICANN-specific. Alternative Tracks could be offered on Level 2 depending on
the emerging variety of participants. One possible track could be on
Internet Policy.
As stated earlier, 3 days of programs, once a year could be a good start
for the ICANN Academy. But rather than be constrained by limitations that
do not exist, the idea could be expanded as a proposal for a larger
Academy. Perhaps we could rename it "*ICANN Internet Academy*" or even
as "*Internet
Academy*"
We could plan to offer education of uncompromising standards on multiple
levels of 5 day programs, starting on the Monday of the week preceding the
ICANN meeting, three times a year, and once at the time of the Internet
Governance Forum, for 25 - 30 participants each time, making a total of at
least a hundred participants per year. The idea of timing and locating most
of the programs alongside ICANN meetings makes it cost-effective for ICANN.
Participant and faculty travel costs would be minimized.
The Academy could be an ICANN initiative, but could be set up as an entity
with structural independence to make it possible for other Internet
Institutions, and perhaps even Regional and National Governments (who may
find a purpose) to contribute to the Academy. If the Academy is receptive
to partnerships, the capital outlays / operations costs could be less of a
burden for ICANN, while achieving the primary objective of educating all of
its participants assuming positions of responsibility.
Beyond offering these standard programs, the Academy could offer, from time
to time, specialized courses related to DNS. The Academy could also
consider an online presence to offer lighter courses and free courses for
At Large members and remote participants.
The Summer School of Internet Governance which is cited as an early model
offers learning in a multi-stakeholder environment. At the Summer School,
the students and faculty are both drawn from across different stakeholder
groups. The Academy could emulate that concept and go on to offer a greater
diversity in such a learning environment by opening up the Academy for
participation beyond the ICANN community
The rationale for this expanded proposition is that there is a latent and
felt need for Leadership Training in Internet Governance. While it is a
good idea to restrain the scope of the ICANN Academy to ICANN's own
internal needs, it would be far more meaningful to expand the idea for the
good of the Internet, perhaps in partnership with other Internet
Organizations that may share the same vision.
