[council] RE: [gnso-osc] GNSO Constituency Survey - Final Report
Title: GNSO Constituency Survey - Final Report
Thanks Rob. It seems to me that there is probably
useful data in this report for all five of the GNSO Improvement Work
Teams and hence should be provided to the WTs once they are formed. I
think this should also be sent to the PPSC.

Dear GNSO Council, Constituency Leaders and Operations
Steering Committee Members;
As you will recall, we launched a
GNSO Constituency Survey at the start of the Cairo Meeting and concluded it,
after a two week extension, on 14 December 2008. The survey was designed
to collect constituency input in the following four specific areas highlighted
in the Board’s Report on GNSO Improvements:
(1)
Developing a standardized "Toolkit" of services;
(2)
Creating a centralized membership registry or database;
(3) Knowledge/skill training for leaders and members; and
(4) Recruiting/outreach programs associated with
constituency growth and expansion.
Attached, as promised, is a
comprehensive final report of the survey’s findings which covers who, what,
when, why, and how as well as summarizing each question and an initial set of
observations/conclusions that can be drawn from participant responses.
Our original intention was to provide this input to the
Operations Steering Committee’s (OSC) Work Team chartered to develop
recommendations in these disciplines. We hope the team will find the
materials helpful in their deliberations. Thanks to everyone’s active
engagement in this effort, especially those who helped with testing and many
of you who personally participated in the survey. The planning worked
out well in that we hoped to have this product available on or about the time
that the Work Team commenced deliberations. Many thanks to Ken Bour for
leading the effort to develop the survey, marshalling it forward and preparing
the final report.
We will post the report on the GNSO
Improvements Information Web Portal ( http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/
) as well as the OSC’s Wiki page ( https://st.icann.org/icann-osc/index.cgi?operations_steering_committee_osc
). A courtesy copy of this report will also be sent to the survey
respondents not on this circulation list along with our “thanks” for their
participation.
If you have any questions about this report
or any other aspect of the survey, please email me.
Regards,
Rob Hoggarth
