Volunteer Retention
ALAC suggested the establishment of indicators for ICANN volunteers
Board noted the significant efforts and activities to volunteer engagement and retention. Also noted the number of languages of interpretation offered. Highlighted regional meeting rotation to engage with regions. Acknowledged the concept the indicators is of interesting and asked ALAC to contribute additional information on their ideas.
The Board also raised the issue of retention and also how to show achievement of volunteers.
The Board raised how we measure trust that volunteers are being appreciated.
The Board encouraged to continue to engage with new people. Need to steer away from the narrative that volunteers are not appreciated given the number of activities in place to engage and recognize them.
AG noted the difference between volunteers who are at ICANN because they are paid or further their career as opposed to those who are purely volunteer.
MM stated that she likes idea of indicators to show trust. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, there are processes that exist that we could look at.
