[Advisors] January TC zoom mtg -- Jan. 22

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors. The January meeting will be on *Friday, January 22 at 
3pm EST *-- that would be noon for you folks in BC, 1 pm in Alberta, etc.

The session will start off with a guest speaker -- my ICANN colleague 
Glenn McKnight who will be speaking about the new Virtual School on 
Internet Governance -- which is NOT an ICANN program. It is much broader 
-- a general course on internet governance as it is evolving on the 
international stage. Fascinating topics to explore!!!

VSIG

The  Virtual School on Internet Governance was born out of the necessity 
due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and the harsh market realities of 
conducting Internet Governance training cost-effectively and to a wider 
international audience. The joint efforts of Alfredo Calderon and Glenn 
McKnight (co-founders) came together in May 2020 and envisioned an 
online learning platform that encompasses the core learnings for 
students on Internet Governance but also a course that remains free to 
the learners and a long term vision of a multilingual platform that 
serves as a foundation for any face to face school on Internet Governance.


As a novel and efficient approach, the VSIG team follows a ten-eleven 
week delivery format. Thus, during the first year, four groups of 
approximately one-hundred students each and plans are in place to launch 
in September 2021 for a French and Spanish version of the course 
followed by Portuguese, Arabic and Hindi versions of the course. .


Thanks for completing the doodle poll.
