[gnso-thickwhoispdp-wg] Reminder: assessment questionnaire
hi all,
just a quick nudge note, and a correction, about the self-assessment
questionnaire.
gold stars all around for the folks who have already filled one out. it would
be terrific if we could collect a few more, so that the SCI would have a nice
sample size for their review of the results.
to that end, i left a request off my first note. the self-assessment does not
have any questions about the questionnaire itself. so the SCI is also hoping
that you will also tell us about your experience with the questionnaire by
adding your thoughts to this page on our working group wiki
https://community.icann.org/x/pVZ-Ag
here are the questions you'll find on that page (i know -- a questionnaire
about a questionnaire -- but you are doing a Great Good Deed here)
In particular, the SCI is interested in learning:
• Are the questions intelligible and is the wording clear as to intent?
• Are the design and format straightforward?
• Does the scaling (1-7) make sense?
• Are the instructions clear?
• Is the online presentation (QuestionPro) easy to complete?
• Can the entire questionnaire be completed within a 30 minute
time-frame including any written comments?
• Are there any important elements of the Working Group’s operations
that have been neglected?
Any other information you would like to provide would be appreciated.
i think it's fair to say that the SCI is *especially* interested in any
negative comments you may have. if you'd prefer to share those directly with
the person who is developing the questionnaire, rather than posting them for
all the world to see, you can send your thoughts to:
Ken Bour (Ken's email address can be found in the CC address line of
this note)
thanks,
mikey

> Dear Mikey,
>
> As a member of the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI),
> you have been intimately involved in helping develop a new instrument that we
> are calling “Working Group Self-Assessment.” Delving back into the history of
> the GNSO Improvements initiative (2008-2012), it had always been envisioned
> that there would be team member evaluations of Working Group processes;
> however, no prescription for such an instrument had been undertaken until
> now. The purpose of these assessments 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 and ultimately leading to continuing process improvements.
>
> As the Chair of the “Thick WHOIS” Working Group, we appreciate your
> willingness to ask your team members if they would help us test the latest
> version of the questionnaire that has been customized at this link:
> http://thickwhois.questionpro.com. All of the background information and
> instructions are contained within the instrument, so there is little more
> that you need to do other than provide an invitation and, say, a 2-3 week
> timeframe to complete it.
>
> Our consultant, Ken Bour, will monitor the completion process, provide status
> updates to the SCI, and be available to provide technical assistance if
> needed by any of your team members.
>
> It would be most helpful if your members would complete the questionnaire as
> though it were a real self-assessment for the “Thick WHOIS” Working Group,
> despite it being a test at this time. That approach will ensure that the
> instrument is thoroughly and exhaustively tested.
>
> How to Provide Further Feedback to the SCI
> The questionnaire is designed, of course, to ask about Working Group members’
> experiences – not the Working Group itself. To provide your team members with
> a place where they can provide feedback about the instrument, we created a
> separate page in the “Thick WHOIS” ICANN Wiki space (Link:
> https://community.icann.org/x/pVZ-Ag) where that type of information can be
> aggregated. We are also set up to accept emails if any of your members would
> prefer that method. Please ask them to submit any feedback to our Consultant
> on this project: Ken Bour at ken.bour@xxxxxxxxxxx.
