Volunteers Sought: Public Comments Forum Wiki Community testing
by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 9, 2011

Nov. 9, 2011

Dear All, As requested by Olivier Crépin-Leblond, please see the message below from Filiz Yilmaz, Senior Director of Participation and Engagement at ICANN, who is requesting volunteers for a group to provide feedback on a Public Comments Forum Wiki page. If you are interested in participating, please inform At-Large staff (staff(a)atlarge.icann.org) by Friday, 18 November. Thanks very much. ** Dear Community Leaders, I have communicated before and during Dakar that we are looking into forming a volunteer group to provide feedback on a prototype Public Comments Forum Wiki solution that is an outgrowth of ATRT Recommendations 16 and 17 and our most recent Public Comment solicitation (entitled Phase II of Public Comments Process Enhancements), which closed on 15 October 2011. For further information, please see <http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-enhancements-ii-31aug 11-en.htm> http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-enhancements-ii-31aug1 1-en.htm, which includes links to a Report and Analysis of the public comments received. We are counting on that the members of the Focus Group we have formed back in July will again support us in this new effort. Some community members approached me in Dakar too, volunteering to the take part in the activity. But this email is intended to provide you additional details to help you in identifying other individuals to participate in this activity. Thanks again in advance for your support in this. Purpose: To help ICANN Staff assess the usability and viability of a Public Comments Forum developed on ICANN's Confluence Wiki platform. Scope: This solution was designed to be a replacement of the Public Comment page structures on ICANN.org except that, for technical reasons, Forum Archives whose open dates are prior to any final cutover will remain on ICANN.org and will not be converted to the Wiki environment. The Wiki does, however, link directly to the ICANN.org Archives so that users are only one click from finding the information they seek. Volunteers: To perform a robust and thorough test, we would prefer at least two dozen volunteers and are therefore requesting 2-3 representatives from each ICANN SO, AC or SG. Methodology: To simulate a real Public Comments Forum, our plan is that the group will test features, functions, and interact/collaborate entirely within the Confluence Wiki environment. Details, including links and login information, will be sent to the testers separately. Duration: We anticipate that the testing period will last one month from 21 November 2011 through 20 December 2011 at which point the Wiki site will be closed for Staff evaluation. Content: ICANN Staff will provide to the volunteers a set of specific features and functions to be tested and along with a series of questions to help guide the discussions. Outcomes: The resultant Wiki collaboration and discussion threads will be used by Staff to inform its planning and final disposition of the Wiki platform for Public Comments. Staff will coordinate with the Public Participation Committee (PPC) of the Board and will communicate the decisions and rationale upon completion of all evaluations. I hope you find the above information helpful in identifying and selecting candidates to help with this feedback process. We hope to hear back from you with your volunteer names and their contact details on or before 18 November 2011 in order to start the activity as planned. Kind regards, Filiz Yilmaz Sr Dir Participation and Engagement ICANN ** Regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Seth Greene, Gisella Gruber-White, Matt Ashtiani, Nathalie Peregrine, Marilyn Vernon ICANN At-Large Staff E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org

As we heard from the public comment during the Dakar meeting, ICANN community members are committed to participating in the communications campaign; employing their expertise, knowledge and spheres of influence to inform potential applicants and users of the coming changes. We agree with the sentiment expressed by those comments: to combine forces in order to educate the users in all regions about the coming change to the Internet. With mutual support between the informative materials we’ve created thus far, and your regional and stakeholder group contacts, we will be able to reach many organizations. In August we asked community members to recommend events and awareness raising opportunities in their regions. We received and followed up on many recommendations and provided speakers and material for most events suggested. (You can review the calendar of past and future events<http://newgtlds.icann.org/program-status/upcoming-events> on the New gTLDs site.) In order to make the most of our global community's knowledge and networking capabilities, we have prepared an array of educational materials that are available on the New gTLD microsite and listed below. These materials provide a high-level look at specific areas of the program with reference back to the appropriate section of the Applicant Guidebook for more detailed information. These materials are not promotional, but neutral, educational, and informative; providing a balanced view of both the positives and negatives of new gTLDs. There will soon be additional, knowledge-based reference materials. Please find below lists of materials that are available for you to use as you see fit to help raise awareness about the program. We continually add to these resources; if you have an idea for a fact sheet, presentation, or video that would be helpful in informing your interest group about new gTLDs, please let us know. There are additional summaries addressing trademark protections and other topics. Please also let us know if you need any material in a language that we have not provided. Though we can’t promise to fulfill every translation request, we will do our best to get translations for items that receive multiple requests. If you require these materials in a different format or translated for a specific purpose, please contact Michele Jourdan at michele.jourdan(a)icann.org<mailto:Michele.jourdan@icann.org>. You may also contact me. Additionally, there may be limited opportunities for coaching on certain topics in preparation for use. It is important to understand that these materials are the property of ICANN. They can be shared universally but should not be adopted as the work product of another entity or labeled with the logos or other indicia of ownership / authorship by any other entity. As you no doubt understand, given the competitive landscape and potential collision of interests in the new gTLD progam, it is important to maintain these distinctions. It is recognized also that many constituency / stakeholder members are planning to participate tin the new gTLD program. Potential for conflicts of interest must be careful considered and addressed. If you have any problem reading this email – please let Michele know. We wanted to lay out the materials in an organized way, but this formatting doesn't always work across all email clients and computers. If you wish to take part in the effort, we want to help you. A materials list is below. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and assistance in helping raise global awareness of new gTLDs. Sincerely, Kurt The New gTLD Applicant Guidebook<http://newgtlds.icann.org/applicants/agb> Here you will find the full version of the Applicant Guidebook as well as the Applicant Guidebook by module. Additional languages will be available in November 2011 and will include Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish.
