Re: [gnso-irtpd] Reminder: Self-Assessment!

["James M. Bladel" <jbladel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks:

Just to echo Lars’ request:  This is an important component of the PDP 
processes, and helps the Community & Staff better tune their efforts.

I realize everyone is scrambling to wrap up their to-do list this week before 
the holidays/end of year, but if you can spare 10 minutes to knock this out, 
that would be great.  I promise it is extremely painless!

Thanks, and best wishes for the holidays and a Healthy & Prosperous 2015!

J.

Dear all,

Only five members of the WG have participated (out of 21 total) in the self 
assessment (see below) and it would be great to get this number up. If you have 
not done so, please take 10min and answer the questions 
http://irtp-d.questionpro.com<http://irtp-d.questionpro.com/>.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Lars

PS: Please note that the deadline has been extended and so you will receive one 
more reminder on 22 December, unless you all fill in the assessment by then, of 
course.

Dear  IRTP Part D Working Group Members,

On 26 March 2014, the GNSO Council approved a process and questionnaire for 
Working Groups to conduct Self-Assessments when their work has been 
substantially finished. The goal is to provide Chartering Organizations, such 
as the GNSO Council, important information about how well its Working Groups 
are functioning through an examination of their Inputs -> Processes -> Outputs 
ultimately leading to continuing improvements.

Our Working Group has been identified to participate in this process the 
details of which are provided below:

  *   The survey tool is hosted by QuestionPro at this link: 
http://irtp-d.questionpro.com<http://irtp-d.questionpro.com/>. Please do not 
share this link with anyone other than our team members.
  *   Background information and instructions are contained within the 
instrument. There is no login requirement, so you will not need user 
credentials.
  *   Simply answer the questions (most use a 1-7 rating scale) on each page (7 
total) and, when you reach the end, click “Record My Answers!” If you receive a 
“Thank You” response, your feedback was successfully populated. There is a 
provision to Save and Continue Later if you are interrupted and cannot finish 
the survey in one session.
  *   Based upon earlier testing with another WG, the survey should take 
between 15-30 minutes depending upon the number of comments you choose to 
provide.
  *   If you would like to browse the questions in advance, they are published 
on the ICANN Community Wiki at:https://community.icann.org/x/nTXxAg.
  *   The survey will be open for two weeks and will close on: Tuesday 16 
December 2014  (23:59 UTC)
An external ICANN consultant, Ken Bour 
(ken.bour@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:ken.bour@xxxxxxxxxxx>), will monitor the 
completion process, provide brief status updates to me and Lars Hoffman, and be 
available to provide technical assistance if needed by any of our team members. 
He will also be the only person who has access to your individual responses 
according to the following clause which you will see on the questionnaire 
welcome page:

Confidentiality: We will be asking you for identifying information to ensure 
that each response is valid. Your individual responses will not be accessible 
by anyone other than the ICANN Staff Administrator and they will not be 
disclosed or published in a way that could be matched to your identity.

Once the survey period has closed, Ken will produce a report summarizing the 
findings which will be shared with our team, the GNSO Council, the Stakeholder 
Groups and Constituencies, and other interested parties.

I appreciate your willingness to provide feedback about the IRTP Part D Working 
Group and your participation in it.

Regards,
James
