Dear Jonathan, 

Since it would be alac / icann surveys in global public interest,  alac should be within its limits to use the whois/ other database to inexpensively reach out to individual and business Registrants globally? 

@Nadira for the required expertise in the design of the survey, alac could still reach within alac / icann / ISOC and the broader IG community to identify one or two individuals who have a background in poll design, but not necessarily follow a model of icann-scale spending by engaging unaffordable expertise, which sometimes may not work at all.

We took.a shot and hoped for more, but its a start. We have to find a way to make good use of it. We can't mount a worldwide survey with that much and we SHOULD not do a stupid self selection survey. That leaves two options: piggyback or pilot. Global surveys are historically rare but have become more frequent with COVID. With $50k, we might get a few questions added to something already being fielded. Alternatively,  we focus on a particular geographic region and language and see if we can get valuable enough data to get further funds. We'll definitely have to give it some thought. Another committee.  Sigh.

Subject: [At-Large] ICANN Funding Request FY22-05
 

To Heidi who advanced this request within ICANN, and to all who had a part of creating it, a heartfelt and personal thank you.

I am extremely heartened by the allocation of funds for survey-based research to support and drive ALAC's ongoing work. Some of you may have seen my participation in At-Large mailing lists complaining about the lack of such resources, and now here they are. I have no idea whether my contributions played any role in development of this formal request of which I was not aware, but regardless I am sincerely appreciative of the significant effort that I know has gone into creating and advancing the request.

So now is the time to deliver, now that the opportunity is at hand. I have no idea what kind of sub-group and/or what ALAC support staff will be tasked to turn this approval into a detailed plan; I am at the service of whatever mechanism will be used. I hope to be useful to this process and make a positive contribution for the first time in a long time.

And, again, thank you to all involved.
