Thanks Maureen, for this. The follow up questions about the communications session are appropriate. Dev Anand On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 5:13 PM, Maureen Hilyard <hilyard@oyster.net.ck>wrote:

Hi Tijani,

If we want people to come to these sessions regularly, they must first learn something from them and there should not be any onerous evaluation after them.

Based on the information that Dev has sent to us about the COMMUNICATION session, the evaluation draft I have prepared should firstly just tell us if we achieved OUR objectives or not, and how else we might be able to assist ALSes to better understand the topic that has been introduced for later sessions. As the initial evaluation, we also need to know that the technology is working for them too, otherwise they won’t be able to attend anyway. My recommendation is to send a brief link to a monkey survey with the invitation, that participants can return after the session, consisting of the following.

*(To be included into the invitation?)*

ALSes are an important part of the At Large consultation process. Your participation in policy development sessions contributes to decision-making within At Large and ICANN overall. This session is part of a programme of topics which aims to provide some background before the ATLAS II meeting in London. You are expected to attend these sessions and the evaluation form will record your attendance as well as provide us with valuable feedback.

Thank you very much Maureen. My comments: · It’s perhaps better to avoid saying that the evaluation sheet will record “your attendance” since people will see it as a watch dog to track them and generally, they react negatively to such things. · The evaluation sheet you are proposing is specific to each topic. I was thinking of a generic one. All the other things are ok with me. All members of the WG: please give your opinion before we finalize the sheet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Tijani BEN JEMAA Executive Director Mediterranean Federation of Internet Associations (FMAI) Phone: + 216 41 649 605 Mobile: + 216 98 330 114 Fax: + 216 70 853 376 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- De : capacity-building-wg-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:capacity-building-wg-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] De la part de Maureen Hilyard Envoyé : mercredi 16 avril 2014 22:13 À : Tijani BEN JEMAA Cc : capacity-building-wg@atlarge-lists.icann.org Objet : [Capacity-Building-WG] Pre-ATLAS II Capacity Building Programme Hi Tijani, If we want people to come to these sessions regularly, they must first learn something from them and there should not be any onerous evaluation after them.
