Information Sharing NEW: ICANN67 Travel Support Deadline Executive: David Olive, Senior Vice President, Policy Development Support FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING Community travel support requests for ICANN67 are due to the relevant community group support team by Thursday, 7 November 2019. The deadline for submissions is critical to allow for Office of Foreign Assets Control review, travel arrangements, and confirmed reservations as required for visa applications. Benefits of having community travel support requests 120 days before the next ICANN Public Meeting include: - Allow ICANN org to gather the documentation required (hotel and flight confirmations) for supported travelers to apply for their visa. - Allow enough time for supported travelers to complete and submit their visa application, which often vary per ICANN Public Meeting location. - Allow enough time for supported travelers to apply for a transit visa (if required), which often vary per ICANN Public Meeting location. - Allow ICANN org to purchase less expensive airfares. - Allow supported travelers to plan their pre-and-post ICANN Public Meeting travel in advance. - Allow ICANN org to set-up supported travelers in advance as vendors with Finance allowing us to wire their per diem/stipend funds in a timelier manner.

REMINDER: 2020 Leadership Program From: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING
From Wednesday, 2 October to Friday, 15 November 2019, ICANN has issued a call for nominations for the 2020 Leadership Program, scheduled for 5-6 March in Cancún, Mexico, just prior to ICANN67.
The Leadership Program helps current and incoming leaders better understand the complexities of ICANN, while also helping to develop the facilitation skills of participants. Understanding ICANN as an organization, the topics discussed within ICANN, and the interaction within other stakeholder groups can be challenging for incoming leaders, but sometimes also for experienced leaders. ICANN org and the community are making considerable efforts 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 Supporting Organizations/Advisory Committees and get an insight of the functionality and issues in other groups - Discuss current 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 Interested individuals need to be endorsed by their Supporting Organization, Advisory Committee, or stakeholder group. Please register here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlcHhlYzW5rq65YCei_6a98x8AZsNfKuTG3Q0WK0VXo-H...> by Friday, 15 November 2019, 23:59 UTC. The Leadership Program does not provide financial support for travel to Cancún but does cover accommodations and offer a stipend for the days a participant is involved in the program. REMINDER: NextGen@ICANN Community Consultation Executive: Sally Costerton, Senior Vice President, Global Stakeholder Engagement FOR: All Community Leaders INFORMATION SHARING The NextGen@ICANN program is currently undergoing a community consultation <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlcHhlYzW5rq65YCei_6a98x8AZsNfKuTG3Q0WK0VXo-H...>. One request from the preliminary feedback received to-date was for ICANN org to explore the feasibility of having community volunteer representatives from Supporting Organizations (SOs), Advisory Committees (ACs), Stakeholder Groups (SGs), and Constituencies (Cs) to nominate individuals for the following two roles: 1. NextGen Selection Committee members 2. NextGen mentors For the Selection Committee, a time commitment of approximately 20 hours over three weeks is required (for each application round). Selection Committee members will typically serve for two years (or six application rounds). Mentors are expected to devote approximately 24 hours to pre-ICANN Public Meeting preparation with their mentees, to offer advice, networking support, and regular check-ins on-site, and to complete evaluations following the ICANN Public Meeting. Based on previous estimates, mentors spend about two hours per week during the six-week preparation period in advance of the meeting and about two hours per day providing on-site support at the ICANN Public Meeting. Mentors will typically serve for one year (or three meetings). Is your group interested in nominating individuals for either of these roles? By Monday, 16 December 2019, please take the following poll <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001xlcHhlYzW5rq65YCei_6a98x8AZsNfKuTG3Q0WK0VXo-H...> to help ICANN org can gauge the level of community interest. The findings of this poll will inform the proposed NextGen program approach that will be published for Public Comment. Note: You will not be asked to submit the names of potential volunteers for roles at this time.
