Preamble

At the San Juan meeting work began on the organisation of an ICANN At-Large Community Summit to which all accredited and candidate At-Large structures (ALS) would be invited to send a representative. This event is intended to help the At-Large community to learn more about ICANN’s work and current issues, to exchange experiences among ALSes and RALOs and to conclude statements on policy areas that are felt to be important to the At-Large community.

The Summit-working group is mandated with further work to prepare for this important event which is proposed to take place in calendar year 2008. In order to set an agenda, design the programme using a bottom-up approach, the Summit organising team needs to understand what the At-Large community representatives believe would make a compelling event. This survey is designed to help the organisers understand your concerns, ideas and expectations related to the proposed Summit. We hope that you will help us by answering the questions that follow.

Please note that the Summit is an interactive event that requires active involvement by all participants in order to succeed. Failure to return this survey by June 20, 2008 will negatively impact your ALS’s eligibility to be funded to participate in the Summit, should funding for the Summit be made available either by ICANN, by third-parties, or both.

The results of this survey will be reviewed at ICANN’s next meeting in June 08 in Paris.

Any information you provide will remain confidential. It will be used only to prepare a summary of results. No individual information will be published.
