. REMINDER: Age Diversity Survey From: Ergys Ramaj Executive: Sally Costerton

FOR: All Community Leaders REQUEST By Friday, 19 April 2019, all community leaders should please complete an age diversity survey, as well as encourage their respective groups to participate in the community-wide survey, which is available at https://go.icann.org/agesurvey <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kkcEK_FaRly7S_x2oLN-36gtDtT3Bva5myNHGfEPeRn3W...> . ACTION The survey is designed to determine current perceptions of age diversity in the ICANN community and to identify potential barriers to participation. The purpose of this survey is to inform community discussions on diversity, following calls for additional data on this topic. We invite all community members to take part. Responses will be anonymous and used in accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001kkcEK_FaRly7S_x2oLN-36gtDtT3Bva5myNHGfEPeRn3W...>. The survey is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. It takes only twelve to fifteen minutes to support diverse and meaningful engagement. Please email any questions to agesurvey@icann.org. REMINDER: Volunteers for IRP IOT From: Samantha Eisner Executive: John Jeffrey FOR: SO/AC Chairs REQUEST Volunteers are needed to re-compose the Independent Review Process (IRP) Implementation Oversight Team (IOT), which will develop published Supplemental Procedures for ICANN’s Independent Review Process. The work of the IRP IOT is important to ICANN’s accountability and sets many procedures around how IRPs are administered. BACKGROUND Under the ICANN Bylaws, ICANN is required to consult with the SOs and ACs regarding the establishment of the IRP IOT. Last October, the IRP IOT produced an interim set of Supplemental Procedures that were adopted by the ICANN Board during ICANN63, and now a final set of Supplemental Procedures is needed. For many team meetings, the IRP IOT rarely had more than the five participants required for a quorum, and frequently faced challenges meeting a quorum. The goal of this team is to reach a final set of Supplemental Procedures that reflects input from across the ICANN community, which prompts this request for additional volunteers to join. We are thankful to those who have been regular participants thus far, and hope that they continue, but this is a very important and heavy load to be shouldered by so few community members. ACTION Please promote the opportunity to volunteer as a member of the IRP IOT within your community. For more information, please contact Samantha Eisner at <samantha.eisner@icann.org>.
