[Membership-affairs] Seeking your feedback on a membership engagement survey

[William Drake]

Hi

My mailer did not receive Walid’s 27/01/2015 message with the survey pointer, so this is the first I’m seeing it.  Thanks Walid for doing this, it’s really very helpful in moving us forward.  A couple quick preliminary thoughts before a conference call:

*I would suggest we not rush on sending this out to members, it’s not time sensitive really.  As noted previously I will schedule some discussion time on the MAT and inreach for the Constituency Day meeting (releasing a draft schedule held up by tardy staff replies on participation invitations, will just go ahead without them today).  I think it would be useful to vet this there with attendees and get feedback, as many of the more engaged members are really swamped with other stuff right now and might not reply online.  Also discussion could elicit useful tweaks via the back and forth.

*It is worth noting once again that the problem of sustainable engagement is not remotely unique to NCUC, it cuts across all of ICANN.  I mentioned that the SOACSGC chairs have a subgroup that’s supposed to be working on a simple matrix I set up, it might be worth looking at that in tandem (and providing input if able). https://community.icann.org/display/gsenorthamwkspc/Volunteer+Engagement+Project <https://community.icann.org/display/gsenorthamwkspc/Volunteer+Engagement+Project> 

*"I was once rebuked or lectured by another member when I presented my thoughts.” — yikes!  We sound pretty awful…

Must go now, more later.

Best

Bill

PS: Going forward we don’t really need to copy the EC list on messages to the MAT as all EC members are here.
