Invitation to broader community - List of IDN ccTLD email contacts Bart: starting collecting the admin-c addresses. Almost done: 5 or 6 remaining. Together with a generic letter to the community, you will reach many Abdalmonem: important. Can we have a brochure, to distribute among our networks? Bart: if you have the time to develop and design? Having the email up and running. To show real work is the priority now. People want to see what it brings. Show that UAC is alive, showing the value. To date, one presentation. You have been involved in UA Day. but we need to start exploring where we really can make a difference. Be careful not to spend too much time on inviting people, in contrast to showing the value of the UAC. Joke: suggestion to include it in the ccNSO monthly newsletter. Design-effort is less intense. Abdalmonem: yes please. 4. Survey: next steps a. How to develop specific Survey: example DNS Abuse survey Joke: The purpose of the survey is important. The purpose determines the kind and scope of the questions. Intense work with a small group to develop the questions. Have a test run before you distribute the survey with the broader audience. Regina: yes, I recognise the process Important to think about your target audience. For CENTR surveys it is a challenge if the questions cannot be answered by one person. Have a copy offline available? Share a unique link with colleagues. Fill it in together with others? Useful input. Seda: yes, it does ring a bell. We had multiple conversations with the team. Type of questions is limited. How do you intend to make use of the answers? Mobilise the ccTLDs? Or collect information? Statistical info. Some questions ask about actions they intend to take in the future. Ask them to mobilize. We do not want to push anyone. No liability. Cctlds are not contracted parties. Other considerations: what can we offer ccTLDs? We found a few purposes, and developed the questions around these. Bart: sense of looking at the questions in the other 2 surveys. Regina and Seda gave a helpful overview. We should start having a discussion around the goal and purpose of the survey. Homework for the next meeting. That is the core question. Next meeting: brainstorming regarding the purpose of the survey. Bart: intention is to have the basic questions ready by ICANN81. Avoid overlap with DASC. Regina: makes sense. Question to Seda. have you considered to adapt the ICANN org survey? I want to avoid double questions. Bart: you target the same audience. Regina: our survey is short, and we aim to send it out at the start of the year. Bart: i recall from previous conversations with Sarmad, that you were unsure whether icann would do a 2nd UA readiness survey? Seda: probably yes. But probably not in the short term. No timeline yet. Survey for contracted parties. Depending also on UAC activities. Bart: who is sending the survey is another matter. This group to come up with purpose and questions relevant to UAC and ccTLDs. Abdalmonem: 2 factors * Eurid survey and icann survey * Icann survey from 2 years ago. Related to ccTLDs. They have the main purpose. Questions that are already there. Since then, many new developments. This new committee is keen to publish its survey. To have more replies. Bart: good input, different purpose statements. The purpose will drive the direction of the questions. How do you intend to use the results? What is the focus of the questions? Action item #1: Ahead of the next meeting, UAC members reflect on the purpose of the survey. 1. Review: of questions ICANN ccTLD UA readiness survey 5.
