From 6 October – 10 November 2022, ICANN will be issuing a call for nominations for the 2023 Leadership Program.

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 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 SOs/ACs 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. 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.

FW: Clarification Question on the GAC Communique (SubPro)

Sept. 26, 2022

FYI, I have sent the following message to the GAC Point of Contact and will forward any response received. Sincerely, Jeff Neuman [cid:image001.png@01D8D1CE.FC3B1BF0] Jeffrey J. Neuman Founder & CEO JJN Solutions, LLC p: +1.202.549.5079 E: jeff(a)jjnsolutions.com<mailto:jeff@jjnsolutions.com> http://jjnsolutions.com From: Jeff Neuman Sent: Monday, September 26, 2022 5:40 PM To: Jorge.Cancio(a)bakom.admin.ch Cc: Manal Ismail <manal(a)tra.gov.eg>; Sebastien(a)registry.godaddy Subject: Clarification Question on the GAC Communique (SubPro) Dear Jorge, In the GAC Communique, it states: "Stressing the need to promote diversity and a balanced geographical engagement among stakeholders, the GAC reaffirmed its continued interest in the improvement of Applicant Support for the next round of New gTLDs, noting the importance of active GAC participation in the upcoming GGP. In this regard, the GAC calls on the GNSO Council to allow broader participation from interested GAC participants, as well as other members of the community, beyond the single member per Advisory Committee presently envisioned by the call for volunteers communicated to the GAC." As you may be aware, all members of the community, including the GAC, are invited to be observers to the GGP group which will provide them with read only access to the mailing list and the ability to join all group calls in listen-only mode. Is the Communique asking the GNSO to open the GGP group up to all community members to be participants and not just observers? Or does the "observer" status for all members of the community satisfy the GAC's request? Sincerely, Jeff Neuman GNSO Liaison to GAC [cid:image001.png@01D8D1CE.FC3B1BF0] Jeffrey J.

Hi all, The Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group submitted the Human Rights Impact Assessment for ICANN’s System for Standardized Access/Disclosure (SSAD) and Operational Design Assessment (ODA) Recommendations to the Board this July.
