<div dir="ltr">Hi Walid,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like questions regarding why people joined NCSG (and NCUC), what are their interests (it will help to match people with topics and get involved them more efficiently), what they want to achieve exactly (fellows are encouraged to join a group,
for professional goal etc), and I do agree about checking for time commitment to get involved and go through learning curve. we can spend a lot of efforts on webinars, material, mentorship but if people cannot spend so much time to use them, we have to question
about the "ROI" and find a better way. I will be happy if we find "personas" from this survey and respond to the needs of each one.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also heard about mailing traffic, I would like to know what are the expectation about the information shared there and if they would like to use more extensively spaces like the wiki (<a href="http://t.signauxneuf.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJN7t5XX4Rs3g6VRJgRz5wvCLRW2zq5cM56dB2Rf3GmCG602?t=http%3A%2F%2Fncsg.is%2F&si=4815485689397248&pi=39b4557f-e5e1-4bc6-8ddc-6214a9320626" target="_blank">ncsg.is</a>) to get updated. </div>

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>
