Action:
- :
- Heidi Ullrich to contact ICANN staff with regard to professional survey creation and report back to the RALO secretariats with regard to the progress
...
- :
- Humberto Carrasco and Siranush Vardanyan to collaborate with Staff and lead the effort developing professional survey for RALOs
- Humberto Carrasco and Siranush Vardanyan to collaborate with Staff and lead the effort developing professional survey for RALOs

Notes:
All RALOs completed a Professional Expertise Survey (APRALO Survey was a bit different with more questions and analytical results included ). This work was consider a very good start to map the current professional expertise.
...
- EURALO is working to form a taskforce to review the past survey and to add further questions for new survey; this taskforce will build the database of EURALO ALS expertise
- LACRALO is waiting for the professional help re building the survey, also to learn about the number of members in the ALSes is important (e.g. some ALSes may have tens or hundreds of members)
- NARALO had very little participation in the first survey with little impact. Similarly, an IEEE event held an extensive survey but only a handful of people responded. Survey may not yield the desired result as response rate could be low. Alternatively, RALO Chairs and Secretariats probably should contact ALSes directly instead of waiting for responses to surveys.
- All RALOs should use the same survey, so it may be better to wait for professional help
- APRALO: the idea of calling ALSes does not work in APAC region. The response rate in the previous APAC survey was high, and the result was clear with regard to professional expertise. Since new ALSes have joined, it would be valuable to do a new survey.
- The last survey was only asking the ALS representatives, although the target is ALSes (e.g. members). Target audience needs to be defined clearly this time.
- Survey that is short and sweet may get better response rate.
- To find ways to promote the survey and encourage people to participate (e.g. amazon gift card for filling out the survey) may be needed.
- Several ways need to be used to reach out to ALSes, and survey itself can be administered in different ways (e.g. emails, polls, calls) to be effective. The list of questions used in the survey need to be consistent across RALOs. Professional help may be useful in defining the survey questions. Each RALO can decide how to promote and inform the ALSes to take part in the survey
(RALO Secretariat F2F Meeting in ICANN55 Marrakech)
- Heidi Ullrich: There does not appear to be any particular expertise on survey development within staff. There have been some staff resources allocated to a personal survey in terms of staff being able to reach out and call the ALSs and the identified representative of each ALS. And we are hoping to use this Staff resource in the context of the ALS Criteria and Expectations Task Force. It would be great if there is collaboration between the efforts in the Cross RALO Secretariat Group as well as the ALS Criteria Task Force.
- Alberto Soto: ALSes should have the flexibility to provide the number of contacts for completing the survey, but we should demand at least a minimum of three contacts from each ALS.
