Hello everyone, please find enclosed, an invitation to participate in the survey on ICANN effectiveness as a global organization.

The feedback collected from the survey will help inform ICANN¹s strategy for improving its global engagement. By identifying the activities that are most important toward fully reflecting the global nature of ICANN¹s mission, the feedback will also help to establish priorities for ICANN. The survey results will be shared with the ICANN community and additional opportunities will be made available to comment before any actions are formalized and implemented. The survey is available in all of the UN languages, and feedback is encouraged from stakeholders in all regions. The survey is open until 22 April 2012. The survey is intended to aid understanding the following: 1) The extent to which our current participation and operating processes either: encourage global participation in ICANN; contribute to ICANN's global effectiveness; or improve ICANN's interactions as a global organization. 2) The extent to which ICANN's participation and operating processes improve ICANN's reputation globally. In addition to the multiple-choice survey questions, every section includes an open-ended text box to provide supporting information or specific recommendations. Taking the time to add written comments is important and can contribute directly to strategy development.
