Dear all, Recently, ahead of ICANN63, we were informed by Professor Jan Scholte at the University of Gothenburg of a major study on ICANN legitimacy, funded by the Swedish Research Council, which is led by him. It is a fully independent and academically professional investigation about the present condition and possible future development of ICANN. A key part of this research consists of a survey interview. To get the most precise and reliable information, Jan and his team have randomly selected a number of participants across the Board, community, staff of ICANN, and from the ccNSO. Should you be one of the people to receive an invitation to take part in the study, your views are considered of crucial importance for the success of the project. The interview takes 30-40 minutes and will be scheduled at your convenience. Responses are completely voluntary and will be kept strictly anonymous and confidential. Kind regards, Bart Boswinkel
