[ICANN Academy WG] RESULTS of the ICANN Academy Single Purpose Call: "Intercultural Awareness Program Candidates Evaluation"

Wed Sep 20 13:55:07 UTC 2017

Dear Marilyn and all, we where listening to your concerns about the
limitation of 5 for the WT, but after re-considering pro and cons and taking
into account the replies on this mailing list and the call, we will go ahead
with the 5 assigned Work Team Members (WTM). It is a pilot and we will learn
from it. 

We will not only learn from the results the assigned 5 WTM will deliver, but
this course - more than any other - will get its benefit from the actual
participants. And here we have such great diversity in all respects:
https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/2017+Registered+Participants 

Luckily the number of around 40 registrations does not exceed the resources
available and everyone who did register can participate.

I will connect the WTMs with Incite Learning in a next step so that they can
start their work.

Best Sandra

Sandra.

I regret that circumstances prevented my joining the call, however, I have
raised my concerns about the approach of limiting to only five. I seriously
doubt that my concerns would have been listened to, as I have stated them
now more than once, and so, I will restate this again.

It is important to consider that by excluding different representatives that
have indicated their strong interest in contributing, the 'project' also
excludes the possible champions of the project.  

We have to understand that ICANN's budget is finite and that having
champions is important, for any new initiative.  

I think that five is much too small for several reasons, and yes, I disagree
with the ICANN retained consultant.   I have a lot of experience as well in
doing organizational development, and frankly, most small groups spend their
time, defending why they are so "small". 

I did fill in the self nomination to be an individual participant. 

However, I continue to strongly recommend that this limitation of 5 needs to
be changed and that more inclusion be established, before moving forward.

Please note: if you have not been selected to this Work Team this does not
mean that you cannot contribute to this new programme. There is still one
more day to register as an ordinary participant
<https://www.formpl.us/form/6133876508327936>  and the evolvement of this
course will be based on the feedback and input we gather from the first
group. You can visit the list of registrations we received so far here:
https://community.icann.org/display/LTP/2017+Registered+Participants 

Also these criteria’s and the composition of the group are not carved in
stone for the future, but will help us to move forward with this pilot
quickly.

Please let me know until Monday 18 September if you have strong objection to
this proposal otherwise this group will start working with Incite Learning.

Best Sandra

Chair of the ICANN Academy WG
