[ICANN Academy WG] Survey and next steps until Beijing

[Gomes, Chuck]

The agenda looks okay to me but I do have a couple questions:

1.      Who is Matthew Shears?  I checked the listing of ICANN staff and didn't see his name.

2.      Would it be helpful for us to analyze the survey results to identify the conclusions that we can make that would be most beneficial to our ongoing work?  One way to do this would be to form a small group of volunteers to take a first shot at this and then run it by the whole group.  It would be nice if this could be done before Beijing so that we discuss the results there but it may be too late for that.

Subject: [ICANN Academy WG] Survey and next steps until Beijing

Dear all,

the next ICANN meeting in Beijing is approaching soon and I would like to agree with you on the agenda for the ICANN Academy WG session on:

Monday, 8 April 2013
Time: 15:00-16:00
Meeting Room: Function 6

I hope this time is not conflicting with other commitments and we can have just such a good session as in Toronto.

For the agenda I propose:

  1.  Review of the ICANN Academy Survey (Moderator: Sandra Hoferichter) (10 mins)
  2.  ICANN Online Education Platform and the role of the ICANN Academy WG - Open Discussion with Matthew Shears (25 mins)
  3.  Next Steps to be undertaken between Beijing, Durban and Buenos Aires (Moderator: Sandra Hoferichter) (25 mins)
Background information 1-3:
to point 1.
So far we there was not much feedback on the results of the survey. I enclose it again, encouraging you to send your analysis until Beijing. I think it would be wise not to spend too much time on the survey analysis, but just to summarise results in our session. The following comments on the survey where posted so far:
Hong: ....Although it is diversified, Responses from at-large community are almost a half and some stakeholder groups are still missing...
Tijani: regarding Q 12.... most people want it (the leader ship programme) to be prior to the ICANN meeting.
Avri:

1. (2) I am surprised that so many are offering education to their members.

2. (5) Looking at those that got over 80%, I think we have a good basis for planning a curriculum.

100 Understanding current issues under discussion in ICANN

90.5 Understanding ICANN and its processes

85.7 Training or orientation needs for new members in your group 80 Understanding ICANN's role in the Internet governance eco system - I think this pretty closely matches the curriculum those of us who have been on this project for a very long first proposed.  I suggest that this is what we should focus on.

3. (6,7)  It looks like we should be thinking of both Newbie and Leader orientations

4. (10)  I am not sure what other time people would want.
to point 2.
Recently ICANN engaged Matthew Shears to develop an online education platform for ICANN. I had already the chance to talk to him and the aim is very much inline with what our WG proposed in the past: pull together existing things, add new content and provide different formats and mechanisms to meet the different needs of ICANN Stakeholder groups.  Matthew is already included in this mailing list and he is planning to join us in Beijing, if his schedule allows. During the session he would then explain his ideas in detail and we should figure out how the WG can support him. This online platform will  be one module in the ICANN Academy framework.
to point 3.
Besides the development of the online platform we should look into opportunities to start a pilot leadership programme for the next AGM. The results from the survey clearly show that there is a demand for such a F2F leadership programme (71,4%).  Not the majority, but 38,1%, agreed that the 3rd ICANN meeting in the year is the best time to schedule such a programme.  We should  take this as a fact for the time being and learn from this first trail.

Thank you for reading this long email to the end and I am waiting for your comments!
Best Sandra
