by Bart Boswinkel Feb. 3, 2015

Feb. 3, 2015

Dear all, Byron, in his capacity as chair of the ccNSO has been requested to forward this to the community. Kind regards, Bart -------------- Dear Colleagues, The Internet Society (ISOC) is conducting a survey on Internet governance<http://www.internetsociety.org/survey-internet-governance>. The objective of this survey is to primarily ask you how we can strengthen mechanisms of the Internet governance ecosystem to better address policy challenges in 2015. It is also designed to help ISOC contribute to the current discussions on the evolution of the ecosystem. Some of the issues include: preparations for WSIS+10; the future of the IGF; the appropriate role of new platforms like the NETmundial Initiative (NMI); and enabling a successful IANA stewardship transition. Your feedback and opinions will help us to understand the collective sentiment of the Internet community and will inform ISOC's approach as it looks to play its role to address these issues. For additional background on the survey, I encourage you to read Sally Wentworth's blog post<http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2015/02/take-brief-survey…>. The questions should take approximately 10 minutes to complete and we would be grateful if you could find the time to respond. The survey will be open from 2 to 20 February. A synthesis report of responses will be made available on our website shortly after the survey closes. We look forward to your participation!
