GNSO Constituency Survey Instructions

[Robin Gross]

Dear NCUC,

Below is a message from Ken Bour, ICANN consultant, with instructions  
on how to complete the GNSO Constituency survey.   I'd like to  
encourage you all to take a few minutes and participate in the ICANN  
survey.   (Send any questions about it to Ken Bour at the email  
address bpsurveyadmin at icann.org).

Thanks,
Robin

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,
