Last chance: Short *but important* survey on non-votes
by Gabriella Schittek June 10, 2014

June 10, 2014

Dear ccNSO members, Many thanks to all of you who already replied to the survey on how to interpret non-votes! However, in order to get a better overview on what everyone thinks, we need even more replies: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/H986GLP The survey is very short only 2-4 questions (depending on your replies) and is open until Wednesday, 11 June 2014. Kind regards, Gabi From: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday 28 May 2014 15:46 To: "ccnso-members(a)icann.org" <ccnso-members(a)icann.org> Cc: "ccnso-council(a)icann.org" <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Your help needed: Short *but important* survey on non-votes > Dear ccNSO members, > > We would be very grateful if you could help us on an important matter by > participating in a really short survey (it only has 2-4 questions, depending > on how you answer), dealing with the matter of "Non-votes" during voting and > elections. > > As you know, we are in the pleasant position of being able to welcome more and > more members.
