From * 6 October – 10 November 2022*, ICANN will be issuing a call for nominations for the 2023 Leadership Program. The program is scheduled for* 9–10 March in Cancún, Mexico*, just prior to the ICANN76 Public Meeting.
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. *REMINDER:** Calling for NextGen@ICANN Applications for ICANN76* ICANN is calling for applications for the NextGen@ICANN [r20.rs6.net] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X0KUiejdcG7zZIali...> [r20.rs6.net] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001X0KUiejdcG7zZIali...> program.
