ATLAS III Programme Committee Survey

The survey (EN/FR/ES) was sent to all ATLAS III Participants was sent in December. The aim of the survey is to get feedback from the participants of the ATLAS III programme

30 EN;5 FR; 8 ES as of 13 December. 

The Programme committee can recruit other volunteers with the appropriate skills to do an analysis of the feedback from ATLAS III Participants



Recommendations will be developed from the analysis of the feedback for implementation by the Participants, the ALAC and/or RALOs

The ATLAS III Reporting Working Group's final report can be found here.

Recommendations must align with the ATLAS Ambassadors' Journey graphic to provide specific tasks, objectives and outcomes for each step of their journey.



These recommendations will also  be incorporated into the relevant 2020 schedules for At-Large Policy, Outreach, Capacity Building and Communications.

Completion of Activities and ALAC Approval




  • Criteria and process for individual unaffiliated membership
    • Review of the registration process - do we ask if they are registrants or even know about domains?
    • What skills and knowledge do they bring to the work of At-Large and ICANN?
    • What interests do they actually have that can add value to the work of At-Large within ICANN - internet governance is not enough.
    • How do we assess the engagement of individuals within the work of At-Large?
    • How do they carry out their outreach to their communities? 
    • Do we make it a requirement for evidence of community engagement - a report required of at least one community activity related to ICANN?
  • Review registration process for ALS applicants (and for unaffiliated members)
    • What requested information is irrelevant?
    • What information is needed to ensure engagement is an objective? 
    • What do they know about ICANN and At-Large already?
    • What background knowledge do ALS members who will participate in At-Large bring to help us do our work within ICANN?
    • Who are identified as the key participants within the ALS
    • Are new applicants aware of the requirements for regular participation and the deregistration process?
    • Should we make an expectation that each ALS must demonstrate that they are carrying at least ONE outreach activity related to ICANN per year in their community, and that they have at least ONE person from their ALS actively engaged in an At-Large or ICANN working group or other activity
