THE ATLAS III PREP COURSES

Section 4 of the Application Form (ICANN and its Ecosystem) introduces the expectations of the ATLAS III Program Committee that everyone who is accepted onto the ATLAS III Program will already have full basic knowledge of ICANN and how it works. For this reason, there is a compulsory set of topics that each person must complete in order to be eligible for the invitation to attend. 

There are two types of courses available;

...

• There will be notices sent out to At-Large notifying potential applicants about when the courses will be available. or you can click here to get the schedule directly.

• Completing a webinar course means that you must attend the whole course, and NOT arrive more than 10 minutes after the start of the webinar. There will be questions asked at the end of each webinar

• Completing a course in ICANN Learn is monitored internally - so the program records how much of each course is completed by each learner.

THE WEBINAR PROGRAM

When you are notified about the start of the ATLAS III webinar programme you will be given two chances to view the webinar. The presenters have agreed to offer the webinar twice in order to allow people a time on different sides of the world to take the course

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR COMPLETING YOUR APPLICATION SUCCESSFULLY

1. Please ensure that the email address you provide in Section 1 is correct.  
After you have submitted your application you will receive an acknowledgement with a full record of your completed application form. The email will also provide you with a link that will enable you to EDIT your form if you want to change anything or to update your course completion section.

You will not be able to make any changes after the closing date. You will be assessed on the last application form that was submitted.

2. The ATLAS III Programme in Montreal will mainly be in English.

While we are offering French and Spanish translations of the Application Form we would prefer that you please try to answer your questions in English. This is because not all of the members of the ATLAS III Selection Panel will be able to read in French or English (and it may not be possible to translate the text on the scoring matrix).  Most of the answers in Section 1 just require a click of your mouse, but if you qualify to move onto the full application, then this is where you will need to be able to explain what skills and experience you have.

 We would recommend that you ask a friend or one of the RALO Leaders if you have any questions with the application form.  Dont make your answers to long and complicated.  The panel members will not be worrying about spelling or grammatical errors.
