The purpose of this survey is to inform community discussions on diversity, following calls for additional data on this topic. We are looking to clarify perceptions of diversity and equality, leadership, and inclusiveness. We would also like to understand the degree to which barriers such as familial responsibilities play a role. We invite all community members to share their views - please take 10 minutes to complete the survey: * http://go.icann.org/gendersurvey[go.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__go.icann.org_gendersurvey&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mrDeztziKLa7gZqGADzxcnHA3QXmXYsnChWYBR4NElI&m=cuLTDpZhbSY1aahY7JXUkJMjMI29DlYyJXZcA8J-pIY&s=s1cjKwJiTZJ4Mjyd0G9djcmjbdq3WPrsU2MLsJVqxQE&e=> The survey closes on 8 July.
