Leadership Program Basics:
The ICANN Academy Leadership Program (LP) is designed for current and incoming leaders, helping to increase understanding of the complexity of ICANN and to develop facilitation skills.
The ICANN Academy Working Group and the program organizers consisting of participants from each AC/SO/SG, are aware that understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and interaction within other stakeholder groups is challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders.
ICANN and the community are making considerable efforts in order to help incoming leaders have a good start to their terms and to provide current leaders the opportunity to strengthen their leadership and facilitation skills.
Opportunities for Leadership Program participants include the following:
- Meet leaders from the other AC/SOs
- Discuss important ICANN topics in an in-depth manner
- Deepen the understanding of key ICANN processes
- Develop facilitation and leadership skills, focused personal effectiveness to run meetings and foster processes
All participants are also encouraged to complete customized online courses available through ICANN Learn.

Background of the LP:
The LP is a community effort developed by the ICANN Academy Working Group, an ICANN wide group consisting of participants from each AC/SO/SG.
Five LP sessions have been held for current and incoming ICANN leaders with very positive feedback from their graduates.

The 2015 LP took place the week prior to ICANN54 Meeting in Dublin in October 2015.
