Councilors, see below.

ICANN Staff is preparing a community-wide survey on Gender Diversity and 
Participation. Before the survey launches, they are seeking feedback 
from SO/ACs on the draft (linked below).

Please review, and submit any thoughts or comments you’d like to share 
on this upcoming survey.

Thank you,


J.

Dear Community Leaders:

Please review this message from


    Sr. Director, Public Responsibility



    As you are aware, the ICANN organization is planning to launch a
    survey on Gender Diversity and Participation in the ICANN community.
    The purpose is to determine current perceptions of gender diversity
    within the ICANN community and to identify potential barriers to
    participation. The document has gone through several rounds of
    reviews and is ready to be shared with SOACs for additional input.

    One important point is to clarify how this survey is different
    and/or complements the work currently taking place in the Work
    Stream 2 (WS2) Diversity subgroup
    <https://community.icann.org/display/WEIA/Diversity>. The
    questionnaire recently sent to the SOACs by the WS2 Diversity
    subgroup focuses specifically on SOACs current processes and
    procedures. On the other hand, the Gender Diversity and
    Participation survey aims to assess perceptions about gender and
    participation across all of the ICANN community. It also focuses
    specifically on gender as one aspect of diversity, following
    community calls for data pertaining specifically to gender. Other
    elements of diversity are being discussed in the WS2 Diversity
    subgroup and may be explored with future surveys.

    Before we launch the survey, we would appreciate *feedback from the
    SOACs by 20 May 2017*.

    The current draft has benefitted from insights and input provided by
    members of the ICANN organization, Board, and WS2 Diversity
    subgroup. Here is a link to the survey:
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kEd5LMwMiKau0skX-MGBOZd6BFgcQTq6qdvHA40rRwI/edit —
    Comments/suggestions/questions could be made on the document or
    emailed directly to me.

    Shortly following SOACs review, the survey will be advertised across
    the community. Responses will be anonymous, and survey responses
    will be used in accordance with ICANN’s Privacy Policy
    <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/privacy-2012-12-21-en>. The
    data will be analyzed to identify perceived gaps, trends, and
    potential next steps; a final report with the findings will be
    widely disseminated, and next steps will be up to the community.

    Looking forward to any thoughts you may have and many thanks in
    advance.

    Best,

    Ergys
