[council] FW: [SOAC-Leaders] Fwd: SOACs Feedback on the Draft Gender Diversity & Participation Survey by 20 May

Fri May 5 06:24:08 EEST 2017

Hi Ayden,

I think we are looking volunteers for both surveys. for the gender
diversity, I am not sure about the format or that should be too formal but
I guess just collecting some suggestions would be helpful for the  ICANN
staff to readjust the survey before making it public, their deadline is * 20
May 2017*. So your suggestion about sexual orientation is definitely
welcome.

for the diversity subgroup questionnaire, the deadline is the *1st June*.
that would need more details and elaborated responses.

Best,

Rafik
