I also wanted to add that a question re volunteering for committees and working groups (have you participated on x, y, or z) with some questions re why not (intimidated, too much time, not enough background knowledge, wrong time zone, etc) would be good.

on, etc etc. However as a representative of civil society I spend most of my time communicating with it, dealing with issues, and being an evangelist of a sort for privacy and transparency issues. I think somehow it would be interesting, if difficult, to
figure out who gets fed from the activities of our civil society reps. If I keep 5 otherwise preoccupied civil society organizations briefed on what is going on at ICANN, that info is important.

Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I have been working in the last couple of weeks on a survey that I<br>
feel could shed light on the reasons behind the lack of engagement of<br>
some members (particularly newbies) and potential solutions.<br>
<br>
The questions were formulated based on my own intuition, on<br>
discussions we had in various threads and also on more recent<br>
contributions from Bill and Joao.<br>
<br>
Find the survey here: <a href="http://goo.gl/XlwyQL" target="_blank">
http://goo.gl/XlwyQL</a><br>
<br>
The survey is still a draft and I plan to release it for members to<br>
fill in after taking your feedback into account.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Walid<br>
