Closing discussion: survey or consultation session ICANN82 (8-13 March, Seattle) Bart: follow-up from the discussions by UAC from 2 weeks ago. solicit views from the ccTLD community. Status of UA awareness? You can see a variety of responses. The group was not clear about the goal of the survey. What do you want to achieve, determines the questions. Also, there was no clear view on who would be the target for the survey, again making it difficult to draft the questionnaire The alternative to a survey would be a dedicated session. Suggestion to have a ccTLD testimonial, followed by interactivity. Use of mentimeter is proposed. Additional testimonial, with mentimeter polling as a follow-up. Bart speaks to his illustration. To solicit views from the community around UA awareness. It will require preparation (less than the survey). Similar questions need to be asked * What are you trying to achieve? Stick to 2 or 3 major themes. And have 2 or 3 relevant, inviting presentations / testimonials. Followed by a round of questions * Depends on the length of the session: 2 testimonials for 60 minute session, and 3 for a 90 min. session Engaging way to solicit views and provide inspiration Taking into account the meeting schedule, you have a limited amount of time to prepare. Need to start after ICANN 81 with the prep for ICANN82 Abdalmonem: results will be useful for the UAC. Regina: submit views outside the session Bart: advantage of having open questions Anil: In case we want to have a session at icann82, time is short. Not just ccTLDs who present, but also provide a learning experience. UASG and ICANNorg do a readiness report every year. There was a specific ccTLD survey. That also covers what the blockages are for some ccTLDs regarding UA adoption Preference expressed for the consultation session UA Readiness Report: https://uasg.tech/download/uasg-050-ua-readiness-report-fy24 Anil: progress made. Bart: what are the major factors? Anil: explains why people chose for UA readiness, and what are the blockages UA Readiness Survey for ccTLDs https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ua-readiness-survey-report-cctld... Anil: ccTLDs can consult with each other. Also, the UASG reports are helpful for registries. Thirdly, there are several agencies that help registries and registrars to help with UA adoption. Blockages? The gvt policies. Often gvt is not taking the decision regarding UA adoption. Some ccTLDs do not get the IDN. resources and manpower are also an issue. Some of the ccTLDs do not have awareness about UA, and the advantages. Bart: baseline for session themes. The starting point. Look at the reports, and check where there are themes. Who could provide a testimonial. Regina: have a look at content of the surveys. Where are there synergies? We are open to enhance it. Seda: Please note newly published brochure is available at the ICANN booth: UA Roadmap for Registry and Registrar Systems https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ua-roadmap-registries-registrars...

Any additional items? Ai-Chin: we have done a lot of work. The chair and vice chair. How do we evaluate the progress? Bart: you have a nice way to measure progress. E.g. participation of cctld managers in UA Day events. This year UAC is more involved. As a result of the webinar and the session in Kigali, the level of interest among cctlds increased. That is a good measurement. Whether it can all be attributed to UAC is another question Secondly, what we will do at icann82. If you repeat the same exercise in 2 years, you might see a progress.
