NARALO Capacity Development Survey Report
(Redacted)
May 11, 2020
Introduction
The survey of the NARALO membership is a follow up to a NARALO survey completed three years ago to determine the skills and interests of the NARALO membership. That survey wasn’t tied to ICANN policy issues. The current survey organized by Bill Jouris, Denise Hochbaum and Glenn McKnight reinforced the role of NARALO as it “ represent the interest and concerns with ICANN in regards to the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers” . This survey has greater granularity and a strategy to encourage the NARALO membership to make their voices heard on ICANN policy concerns. It also tries to identify areas where members are not just interested but willing to put in work on developing a NARALO position on the issue.
This redacted version, for publication, has the names of respondants removed. The NARALO leadership will receive the full version.
