- Heidi Ullrich to contact ICANN staff with regard to professional survey creation and report back to the RALO secretariats with regard to the progress

:
- It is important to prepare a new survey to obtain more detailed information from At-Large members, professional help may be needed.
- The survey should not only include ALS representatives but also other members in the ALSes. There is issue of openness of the survey. Some ALSes are tremendously large with lots of members. The survey needs to be more widely distributed with certain cap.
- If we open the poll of survey respondents, the results may be complicated, as certain large ALS respondents may skew the results.
- Ask ALSes themselves to provide the range of their members' knowledge, skills, and competencies that they can offer ICANN.
- Professional survey creation is needed; ICANN may have in-house expertise to create professional surveys. Heidi Ullrich is following up on this action item.
