Dear Sandra,

I would like to volunteer on the (IAP), which I see it could be done online. Given the fact that ICANN Learn introduced the course 703.1 Unconscious Bias.

Best wishes,
Nadira AL-Araj

Dear all, with this email I would like to summarise the meeting of the working group im Montreal. Thanks to all of you who participated!
Kindly read until the end and consider the important red parts.

On the Leadership Programme (LP)
*  LP went from 3 day to 2 day meeting
*  Agenda has been adapted
*  Reviewed agenda of the LP
*  Feedback from Kobe LP: 
o a lot of info on SOACs is already on the web/wiki. Suggestion – weight material more toward training skills rather than material readily available. 
o hearing from the members of the SOAC about PDP and their current issues or path forward lie – that was useful to hear other point of view. So, having some intro to ACSOs still valuable. 
o Friday afternoon event conflicts with the SOAC Chairs meeting. Re CSP – didn’t find it all that useful given his extensive materials. He was looking more for info on SOACs and what they are dealing with. 
o chair asked for a team of 2 or 3 community facilitators to help with agenda (lead groups and overall organizer; need to arrive on Wed). 
o volunteers: see list below – will confirm based on community diversity needs. 
o more people to be coaches and possibly invite also participants from USAG. --> causes issue of total number for LP
*  Way forward: 
o time sensitive: Call to al AC/SO/SGs to nominate their participants and ask them to register
o assign Community facilitators (see below of this email)
o revise the programme

On the Chairing Skills Programme (CSP) - Lessons learned and way forward
*  David Kolb provided overview of CSP
*  Chair provided a bit of history of evolution but would like to develop for CSP – telephone, meeting management 
*  Feedback from the last edition: 
o CSP was useful but change in curriculum is needed 
o there is leverage and opportunities here 
o still keep the 1:1 block course program but also assisting and guiding is useful
o possibly to have the coach and coachee on a longer version.
o assess level of coachee
o CSP is very useful – gives back to the community
o effectiveness of the CSP depends on the time availability of the coach
o need to have higher level of coaches
*  Action Item for Heidi / Ergys (+teams): When ICANN has meetings in seismically active areas to provide information to the community on how to react in the case of an earthquake. 
*  Way forward:
o volunteers for work with David Kolb on implementing suggestions: Ajay Data, Suada Hadzovic, Satish Babu, Humberto Carrasco, … anyone else ?
o next CSP f2f – one day before the Hamburg meeting
o possibility to discuss the plans for discussion at the next meeting
o call for CSP participants to be open TBD (after Cancun)

On the Intercultural Awareness Programme (IAP) -  Reactivation, if yes how?
*  intercultural training is seen as important across the SOACs
*  program was cut after budget cuts
*  community has all the skills – could organize it for a ½ day and even a self-pay for dinner
*  Include webinars in advance
*  one idea is to have it during the policy meeting (next in Kuala Klumpur)
*  would need to update the agenda
*  Action Item for Heidi / Ergys (+teams): to look into allowing in kind sponsorship for the Intercultural Program. 
*  once feedback is given re sponsorship – Academy mailing list will be used for discussion
*  interested in volunteering:  Ines Hfaiedh, Juan Manuel Rojas, … anyone else ?

AOB – none

Assignment of community facilitators for the upcoming LP in Cancun

Community facilitators will have to arrive on Wednesday before the ICANN Meeting (3 March) and need to be available for Thursday / Friday all day. Travel support is a precondition but additional hotel nights will be paid.

During the meeting quite a list of candidates stepped up, so assignment is not an easy task. Therefore I defined some criteria’s that can help making a decision and to which the community will hopefully agree to:
1.       achieve greatest stakeholder and geographical diversity possible
2.       give preference to those who have not yet been a facilitator
3.       give preference to those that were participating in the WG meeting

Taking these criteria’s into account I drafted this matrix in which I suggest (marked in green) the following volunteers:

Name
AC/SO/SG
Geographical Region
been a facilitator in the past 
participated in the WG meeting

Sandra Hoferichter (project lead - confirmed)

I would kindly ask you to let me know if anyone has objection’s to this suggested list of community facilitators. Please let us know here on the list until Nov 15 COB and apologies for the short notice.

Thanks for reading to the end!
Best Sandra
