Re: [gnso-pro-wg] Draft Survey

Thanks very much for this.  Some suggested improvements.

1.  You'll need to change the way people respond -- they can't tick  
or circle options if they are doing the form on-line.  Suggest that  
you insert check boxes and then leave space for short typed  
commentary to be inserted.

2.  I couldn't see a clear way that people would understand WHO they  
would be responding to -- for example, you should put my name and my  
email address in a box at the top and at the bottom to help people  
send back the form.

3.  You'll also need to include a little paragraph which says "This  
information is being collected to assist the PRO-WG provide input  
into the new top level domains policy development process.  The  
information will be used to assist the group to develop  
recommendations which the GNSO Committee may use in the ongoing  
policy development process (background information can be found at  
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/pdp-dec05-draft-fr.htm).  [Add list of  
PRO-WG members and add list of survey recipients including all the  
GNSO constituencies + who ever else is going to receive it.]

4.  Insert a place where the contact details of the responder can be  
included.  I will need to be able to verify where information comes  
from.

5.  You also need to insert a "qualifier" question at the very  
beginning.  "Are rights protection mechanisms necessary in the  
introduction of new TLDs?"  and you'll need to repeat this question  
as an option in each of the questions you've raised.  A reader is  
guided by the "choice" of questions and the current questions are  
skewed towards the presumption that, for example, sunrise periods  
would be included in the implementation round for new TLDs.  This is  
not necessarily the case.

6.  I suggest that you shorten the question list to maximum 20  
questions which should take no more than five minutes to respond to.

7. Insert a line which says "the survey is being sent on x date and  
responses need to be returned by y date".

Of course, I'm happy to help you do this and we can talk about that  
tonight.
