Greetings , We are all encouraged to take this survey. Please read the details further in the newsletter below. Thank you, *Caleb Ogundele * *Date: *Friday, March 22, 2019 at 8:44 PM *Subject:* ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Launches Age Diversity and Participation Survey [image: ICANN Announcement Alerts] *ICANN Launches Age Diversity and Participation Survey <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_Y0…>* 22 March 2019 LOS ANGELES – 21 March 2019 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is launching a survey to determine current perceptions of age diversity in the ICANN community. It is also aimed at identifying potential barriers to participation. The Age Diversity and Participation Survey will help to clarify perceptions of diversity, equality, leadership, and inclusiveness, which in turn will help inform community discussions. All community members are encouraged to share their views. Please take the survey here: https://go.icann.org/agesurvey <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_p0…> . The survey closes on 19 April (23:59 UTC). Responses will be anonymous and will be used in accordance with ICANN's Privacy Policy <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_hP…>. The survey is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The Age Diversity and Participation Survey was created in response to calls from the community for additional data on these topics. It is a follow-up to the pilot survey <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_F0…> on gender diversity in 2017. The ICANN organization will share a report with an analysis of gaps, perceptions, and potential next steps. This data will help ICANN identify ways to improve age diversity and support broad, inclusive participation. Please email any questions to agesurvey(a)icann.org <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__newsalerts.icann.org_NR…> . About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.

Notes from NPOC Chair
by Joan Kerr March 6, 2019

March 6, 2019

Dear NPOC Members, I'm delighted to share that February has been a very busy month for NPOC. We are continuing to develop organizationally, building a sold foundation for NPOC to function, The areas NPOC continues to refine are: - Crafting the Charter, almost in its final draft stages - Designing a new website to be launched in Kobe - Financial management issues being discussed - Activities tracking/project management being refined - Strategic collaborations being explored - Policy Committee still not functional In preparation for Kobe, and in addition to the the Executive Committee meeting, two scheduled Policy Committee meetings and Constituency Day. NPOC is collaborating with ALAC to explore how we can share resources and educate not for profit organizations about the Domain Name System. NPOC will use the info to a) establish and strengthen strategic regional collaboration, b) rejuvenate participation, and foster networking opportunities among members. Please let us know your expertise and passion so we can start the Policy Development Process in earnest. I strongly encourage NPOC members to share stories to publish on our new website. Please reach us at npoc-ec(a)icann.org. If you haven't already done so, you can also join us on Skype: NPOC Regards, -- Joan Kerr, Entrepreneur, Artist, Humanitarian T: +1 (416) 907-0783 Skype: joankerr_fbsc fbsc.org, www.fbsc.eco Chair: Victory Garden Leadership Implementation Team Chair, Sustainable Agriculture, Global Humanitarian Technology Conference Chair: IEEE Smart Villages Project, Sustainable Agriculture Working Group Chair: ICANN Not for Profit Operational Concerns Constituency Recipient of the United Nations Civil Society Award (WSIS 2004) Recipient, Region of Durham Community Partnership Award Advisor, IEEE Humanitarian Initiatives Committee Advisor, Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network, (CSAYN) Global Coordination Unit
