It is desirable that this team be 'Pan Regionally Representative if not absolutely balanced'... In other words we will need a minimum of 1 active contributor from each Region to the work of this team pre, peri and post ATLAS2 being held. However we will not be limited to any particular number of team members per Region and it is most desirable that individuals with specific experience and or training in "ROI Matters" contribute to the work. This team also welcomes observers and will conduct its work in a specific email list, in this wiki space (all list subscribed team members will have edit rights) and via teleconference/online chat as required...
Primary Initial Focus of this team will be to prepare in the next 14+ Days (i.e. 30th June 2359UTC deadline) will be to prepare a short general '(S)ROI to ICANN from ATLAS2' statement to accompany the documentation to the June Board meeting.
to this end we will probably hold a 90 min drafting of text call to prepare this statement early in the week of the 28th June for this Work Team Wiki and list work will be conducted prior to that and a doodle will be sent out as soon as practical

Definition of 'Return On Investment - ROI'
A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. To calculate ROI, the benefit (return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment; the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio.
The return on investment formula:
In the above formula "gains from investment", refers to the proceeds obtained from selling the investment of interest. Return on investment is a very popular metric because of its versatility and simplicity.
In our context of course "proceeds" are not (necessarily) measurable in cash terms and this needs to be addressed as well as clearly declared in all reporting.
- We would be well advised to state what we are reporting on is more akin to a "Social Return on Investment or SROI"
- Can we establish a "common currency" of terms with the ICANN Strategic Planning Objectives (or other key focus, projects, and documentation)
What other issues can we identify? These (as developed and identified) should be listed here below as well as in any other work spaces...
