Hi Bill,<br><br>I've filled in the survey. <br><br>A warning to anyone else who does; only at the very end does it tell you that you can have your comments attributed to you or be filed anonymously. I'd filled the whole thing in on the basis that it was anonymous, but would have liked to have had the choice *before* I made my comments. <br>
<br>Also, it repeatedly refers to ICANN as 'a company'. AGHGHGHGH!!!!!<br><br>FYI, Jim's been on the comms team for about three years. He joined as a consultant doing video for individual meetings a while back.<br>
<br>All the best, m<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 27 February 2013 06:25, William Drake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch" target="_blank">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<br>
<br><font face="Arial">As ICANN operates on a multi-stakeholder
model, we are committed to ensuring that we maintain a dialogue with the
ICANN community. Of particular importance are the opinions of the members
of ICANN’s Support Organizations and Advisory Committees as they represent
a unique perspective on ICANN. </font><p><font face="Arial">To that end, we have partnered with Echo Research,
an independent, global research organization, to survey our stakeholders
to gather perceptions of ICANN including their knowledge of the organization
and their opinions surrounding several aspects of its reputation and communications.
</font>
</p><p><font face="Arial">The research is in the form of an online survey
that will take approximately 10 minutes of your time to complete. Be assured
that the survey is hosted on Echo’s secure server and conducted under
the Code of Conduct of the Council of American Survey Research Organizations
(CASRO), which ensures your confidentiality</font>
