October 2015
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.

June 2015
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.

September 2014
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 . Almost all AC/SO confirmed around 25 participants to take place in the 2nd Leadership Training Programme to take place right before the ICANN meeting in Los Angeles in the ICANN offices.

November 2013
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.
...
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.
...
Follow up with the action items from April: drafting a proposal and collaborating in terms of the online learning tool with Nora Abusita, newly assigned Vice President for Public Responsibility Programs. She is responsible for developing the OLP. A follow up call with key players in this matter was organised. Matthew Shears was not working on this project anymore because he changed job.

April 2013
On 2 April 2013 a tele-meeting took place where we discussed the results of the survey and finalised the agenda for Beijing. One week later the WG met F2F during the ICANN meeting in Beijing. The survey results were presented and conclusions drawn from it. Matthew Shears consulted the WG meeting and explaing his ideas and exchanged views about the develpment of an online Learning tool. After Beijing we hat to submit a project proposal again for a piloit leadership training programme taking place in Buenos Aires.
