GNSO Constituency Survey Instructions

[Cheryl Preston]

I am resending the survey instructions as a reminder to do this before
December 14.

Dear Non-Commercial Users Constituency Member:

The ICANN Policy Staff, in cooperation with the GNSO, is seeking to
collect broad based feedback on a number of GNSO Improvement
recommendations approved by the ICANN Board (for reference links, see

bottom of this message).   In keeping with ICANN's bottom-up
consensus model, the objective is to encourage extensive community
input that can  provide a foundation of opinions, comments, ideas and

suggestions that will lead to informed, useful, and effective
programs designed to enhance all GNSO constituencies.

An online survey has been developed that focuses on four specific
areas of the GNSO Improvements relating to constituencies:

(1)     Developing a standardized "Toolkit" of services;
(2)     Creating a centralized membership registry or database;
(3)     Knowledge/skill training for leaders and members; and
(4)     Recruiting/outreach programs associated with constituency
growth and expansion.

Constituency members are encouraged to participate in this GNSO
Constituency Survey.  The collective results and tabulations will
become input to various working teams/groups chartered to develop
approaches and solutions for GNSO Improvements consistent with the
Board-approved recommendations.  Your candid and honest feedback is
appreciated and will be treated anonymously.   You are being asked
respond to the questions as an individual and not in any
representative capacity that you may hold as part of this
constituency.

Staff has provided the following instructions regarding the survey:

You may provide input beginning Monday, October 27th – December 2nd

at which point the survey will be closed to further responses.
[Note:  recently extended to Sunday, December 14th]

To access the survey, please enter the following link into your web
browser https://www.bigpulse.com/m2597/intro.

Please read and follow the directions carefully once you reach the
introduction page.   You will be asked for some registration
information and we urge you to provide a valid email address because
it will be used to send a confirmation of your survey responses along

with a link to return to the site in the event that you were unable
to complete it on the first visit.

You will need the following 8 character PIN that authorizes access to

the survey:

Access PIN:    NCUC-831    (...for Non-Commercial Users Constituency
ONLY)

This PIN is case-sensitive, so please be careful when entering.   If
you make a mistake, there are successively longer wait periods before

you can reenter the PIN.

There is no ID or Password required to take the survey, only the
PIN.  For security reasons, please DO NOT release this PIN to anyone
not specifically invited or authorized to participate in this survey.

If you have questions or encounter any technical difficulties with
the survey, please forward an email to:  bpsurveyadmin at icann.org.

Thank you for your cooperation and participation,
