Introduction to the Policy Development Accelerator Program

The ICANN Policy Development Accelerator program provides opportunities for newer ICANN community members to build substantive knowledge on a specific topic, while fostering value in service and relationships through connections with experienced ICANN community members.

 

The Accelerator program is offered annually, with each class divided into two distinct terms. The first term of each annual class is focused on a specific policy topic where participants engage with the content through self-paced learning modules, interactive group discussions with subject-matter experts, and role play exercises. The second term is a series of live workshops built from ICANN Learn courses that practice and cultivate the skills necessary for active participation in policy and advice development.
