The 3rd LTP took place from 14-16 October 2015 (some pictures: ICANN Leadership Programme 2015) We had good participation and a well balanced group, incl. an incoming Board member, ICANN staff and participants from almost all AC/SO/SG. The improvements in the curriculum worked out very well, we just realised that we have to move the programme to another time of the year, in order to avoid conflicting schedules. For the future we will be organising it back to back with meeting A or B. This means we have to wait with a next LTP for more than a year, because there is no budget request in the upcoming FY cycle. This provides us with more time to work on the scope of the broader concept of the ICANN Academy.

The ICANN Academy Working group meet in Buenos Aires on Wed, 24 June 2015 - 17:00 to 18:30 There was not much progress or activity since Singapore, mainly because community as well as ICANN staff where all busy with the IANA Stewardship transition process. Therefore the agenda was pretty much the same as it was in Singapore and action items as they have been agreed (see below) were not yet all fulfilled. During the meeting in Buenos Aires a fist draft revision of the LTP programme was agreed based on the feedback from former participants. Furthermore we reached out personally to almost all AC / SO / SG asking to nominate their participants for the next LTP, taking place just before the ICANN meeting in Dublin. We received good interest by all groups.

- AI: Chris Gift to revise the landing page according to the level of engagement and stakeholder group to allow accessing each source and programming from multiple angles. (Discussion was to have different types of accessing depending on who you are. The same material is accessible through different means. Site should have several entries by communities, by specific programs, not restrictive.)

- AI: Chris Gift to consider if convenient to follow a person to see the level of activity of the person in the site.
- AI: Sandra Hoferichter to follow up with ICANN staff on how to name this WG which is now a standing WG, for example a proposal was made “Academy Steering Committee”.
- AI: A sub page incl. an online application form for the 2015 LTP, detailed criteria and other elements to be agreed on, shall be up and ready by the Buenos Aires meeting.

The 2nd Leadership training programme took place in Los Angeles from 8-10 October 2015 in the ICANN offices. Last year’s pilot programme was further developed in terms of better combining the facilitation skills part and the orientation course. Again community members acted as session facilitators on a topic of their expertise. Having held the LTP within the ICANN offices provided participants with a great relaxed atmosphere and a closer look how ICANN works. After the programme participants were asked to fulfil an evaluation survey.Some pictures are published on the ICANN Flickr account

ICANN community members in cooperation with ICANN staff and the team from Incite Learning worked out the detailed programme for the LTP, the logistics and a social programme .

During ICANN49 in Singapore the WG met again.
...
During the discussion it became clear that there is a big confusion between the different programmes offered within ICANN. Especially newbie’s at ICANN have problems to find their way and the needed information to contribute meaningful. The desire aroused that on the new icann.org there should be space for easy entrance to all capacity building and learning efforts within ICANN.

Jan / Feb 2014
The pilot programme was seen as a great success and there was no doubt that this programme should continue. The financing aspect of the next programme was the next challenge, kindly organised by ICANN staff.

Furthermore a system was approved how to distribute the seats to participants and criteria’s for possible trainer where drafted.

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.
