<span lang="EN-US">Greetings from the ICANN Legitimacy Project at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. We would like to invite your participation in a project on ‘Legitimacy outside the State: Governing the Global Internet at ICANN’.</span><span lang="EN-US"><span class="gmail-m_-7070593758104109788m_8246266606378593887Apple-converted-space"> </span>You
receive this personal invitation because your name was drawn in a random sample of participants in ICANN. We hope very much that you will accept!</span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<br>
The project investigates attitudes towards ICANN among board, community, and staff. It will indicate how these views vary and why. The findings in turn can provide important suggestions for ICANN’s future development.<br>
<br>
The study is entirely independent: it is conducted by researchers at the University of Gothenburg with funding from the Swedish Research Council. You may also recall that I was an independent advisor to the CCWG-Accountability during the IANA transition.<br>
<br>
We invite your input through an interview of 30-40 minutes. If, as we hope, you agree to participate, then we would try to schedule a time that is convenient for you. We can conduct the interview either via Skype, phone, or face-to-face at ICANN64 in Kobe.<br>
<br>
Please be assured that your interview answers will be treated with complete anonymity and confidentiality. The data attaches no names or specific positions. Interview recordings are erased after transcription by research assistants who have no connection to
ICANN and so no voice recognition. Our database server is fully GDPR-compliant.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
