    I think it is a good point, but also a subtle one.  I don't, in my
    capacity at ICANN, represent any one organization....certainly not
    my UNI, not any of the orgs whose advisory board I sit 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. <br>

                  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 moz-do-not-send="true"
                    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>
