covered by you all, so there is not much to add. I have a few minor points, listed below:<br>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">I suggest numbering the questions for easier navigation/analysis by this group</span></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">'How active are you in attending NCUC/NCSG meetings (online)': this question might be a bit obscure.
We might want to add "in-between ICANN meetings". <br>
</span></span></span></li><li><font style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">'How do you assess your knowledge of the following (options: NCSG, NCUC, NPOC, GNSO)': it is not
clear of what type of 'knowledge' we are talking about. it could be anything from 'know about the existence of' to 'know what the acronym means' to 'what they do'. I am not sure how to clarify the question -- perhaps breaking it down would help.
<br>
</span></span></font></li><li><font style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">'Why did you join NCUC/NCSG? (optional)': I would move it up, right after the name/email fields,
and before the difficult questions with acronyms :-)<br>
</span></span></font></li><li><font style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"> 'How active are you in the following committees or working groups?': the very long list of WGs/Committees
is off-putting. Perhaps we should move the question to the very end. <font style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">
<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif">Same goes for the question 'On average, how often do you post to the following NCUC mailing lists? (required)'. I believe these two should go towards the end, right
before 'Which of those measures do you think will contribute for better member engagement? (required)'
</span></span></font></span></span></font></li></ul>
<p>Generally speaking, it is a bit long, but I wouldn't be able to tell what to get rid of. Perhaps we should divide the questions in 2 or more pages, and make sure the open fields are as few as possible, and limited in allowed word number. And let's just hope
that enough people will take it, in order for the results to be meaningful. </p>

<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>)

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>
