On behalf of the Policy Development Accelerator team Dear all, Staff have decided to open up Term 2 of the Policy Development Accelerator to outside participants. This is an exception from our normal practice in response to several requests. Term 2 involves participating in four workshops focusing on developing soft skills and leadership skills that are useful for policy development and day-to-day life. Participants with a 75% percent attendance rate will receive a pdf certificate at the end of the course. The previous Term 2 Syllabus and Recordings can be found here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/pIAwDQ The calls will take place at 13:00 UTC.
