Hi Hong! (when are you coming to visit me, by the way???)
The idea I have is that we put the questions in the various languages too. Then the ALS's can point people directly to the survey URL. We should try it with one question. I'll send you mail when I get home from work tonight!

Dear Mom,

Sure, I can provide you the Chinese equivalences for  "Yes, No, Don't
know, Tell us more". But the website is still in English interface.
Would Chinese users be able to use it?

Also, if native speakers could give me the questions in languages other than English, why couldn't those go on the same survey as another sentence in the English question? I'd need responses in the other languages too. (Yes, No, Don't know, Tell us more (for the free response-type questions). SurveyMonkey doesn't support Unicode yet. http://surveymonkey.com/ SurveyMonkey says "We currently support almost all Western languages based on Roman character sets. If you are unsure, try creating a simple one question survey as a test. Currently, SurveyMonkey does not support multi-byte (Unicode) character sets such as Japanese or Chinese. This is a feature we are working on adding soon."

 SurveyMonkey is the only one I've used, it does give great results and it's
 easy to drill into the responses. If someone else is familiar with another
 survey tool, especially one that does Unicode-- let us know.

 Folks,
 This year a revision of the ICANN regions should take place, since the last
 one was done in Montreal, 2003, and according to the ICANN Bylaws the
 revision shall take place every 3 years.
 Although the matter has not come up in Board discussions, I would expect a
 decision to be taken in Sao Paulo.
 In view of this deadline, the ccNSO has launched a questionnaire
 (http://survey.icann.org/cgi/ccnso/) to poll the ccTLD
 managers about their opinions.
 I wonder whether ALAC should open a similar discussion, and gather Internet
 user (and ALSes) input on the subject, in order to present a position
 reflecting consensus points, if any, and Internet users concerns.

 Regards,
 Roberto Gaetano
 ALAC
 ICANN Board Liaison
