December 2013
Participants keep in contact on a mailing list and some of them showed interest to contribute to shape the future programme. We set milestones for the future planning and it was agreed that all parts remain in the programme. The FST and the OC should be merged in the future to keep the interactivity for the entire course. A bridging event is not needed anymore, but the need for socialising and networking events was clearly underlined.

Participants fulfilled the OLP and we received the first feedback about this tool. Generally it was seen as an useful tool but the content needs to be improved. Overall we had around 25 participants in this programme, but not all of them could attend all 4 parts. Between part 2 and 3 we organised a bridging event in the evening. The facilitation skills training (FST) tuned out to be the icebreaking exercise and were very well received by all participants. Also the orientation course (OC) and the concept of asking participants to facilitate a session worked out very well. Of course there is always space for improvement, but generally there was agreement that this programme should not remain a pilot but should become a regular capacity building effort of ICANN. The feedback session on 20 November was well attended by participants and the comments provided very helpful for the future planning process.

October 2013
Participants from almost every AC/SO (except ASO and RSSAC), as well as Board members, Staff and the NomCom were interested in the programme. In order to offer more seats to participants we agreed not to assign trainers, but ask some of the experienced leaders to facilitate a session on a topic they have an expertise in. This turned out to be a good approach, because it was seen as a real effort from the community for the community. By the end of October the log in data for the Online Learning Platform were sent out, before access was given to some individuals to evaluate the tool. We realise there is space for improvement, but time was running short until the start of the programme.

Having finalised the curriculum, the WG reached out to all AC/SO to nominate participants. Incoming and current leaders were the target group and each AC/SO could decide which member to send, whilst NomCom selectees were automatically invited. We realised that for some groups the notification was too short in time, for others it was too early because of outstanding elections.

August 2013
After the (late) aproval approval of the FY 14 budget we could start concrete planning.
In close cooperation with ICANN staff, they intended to organise a facilitation skills training for leaders also prior to Buenos Aires, we agreed to put all efforts under the umbrella of the ICANN Academy. A curriculum was drafted consisting of 4 parts:
- Online Learning Platform – Program participants will be the first to use the new ICANN Online Learning Platform with a training module developed especially for the program.
- Facilitation Skills Training (13-14 November) – When participants are not in the plenary room learning and trying out new meeting frameworks and models, they will be in breakout rooms with smaller groups practicing meeting management skills.
- Orientation Training (15-16 November) – This course has been organized fully by the community and offers incoming and current leaders an opportunity to get to know more about all AC/SOs as well as many current ICANN issues.
- Feedback Session (20 November) – This session will serve as a feedback opportunity for all Leadership Program participants.
Furthermore a system was approved how to distribute the seats to participants and criteria’s for possible trainer where drafted.

July 2013
Before the next F2F meeting in Durban a call was organised on 9 July. During the ICANN meeting in Durban Nora Abusita, Vice President for Public Responsibility Programs, explained concept and status of the Online Learning Platform (OLP) and it was discussed how to merge this tool with the work of the ICANN Academy WG in the most effective way. It was agreed, that for a pilot programme in October, participants will get the chance to use the OLP for the first time, even before the official launch during the Buenos Aires Meeting. This should then be seen as a first test case for this tool.
