Information Sharing NEW: 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 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-3...>. 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 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__r20.rs6.net_tn.jsp-3Ff-3...> 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.

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.

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.
