The 30-day survey period closes Monday, April 23. If you would, please send out a final reminder and encourage all members of your community to review and complete the survey document. Responses will be carefully considered and will impact ICANN’s planning efforts going forward. Now is an excellent time for your community to play a role in that planning process. Thus far, nearly 150 community members (representing every ICANN region) have completed and submitted the survey document. Surveys are taking 25 minutes on average to complete. Some respondents have advised us that they’d like to see the full survey before going to the link so that they can prepare their answers ahead of time. I am again attaching a Word-format document of the survey in English that you can forward with the reminder. The on-line survey is available in all six UN languages. The survey link at http://questionpro.com/t/AHB7OZM7Lx will remain open through 22 April 2012. Any personal encouragement you can offer to increase survey completion would be most appreciated. Thanks very much for giving this effort a final push. We hope that many more members of your community will participate. Please call or email me if I can help. Best regards, Kurt Pritz
