The following survey is intended as a straw poll to assess the current thinking of the CCWG with regards to the different mechanisms under consideration. Prior to responding to the survey, you are expected to have reviewed the information and feedback provided by external experts see https://community.icann.org/x/BSW8B as well as https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fPc9XJr4dCyS8CAUUC6c7O3J6P6HYYDu7Z7ZeDfzP_A/edit#gid=1740174763. Also, please remember that key characteristics such as independence when it comes to fund allocation as well as transparency and accountability are expected to apply equally to all mechanisms. Based on the responses to this survey, the CCWG is expected to make a determination of which mechanism(s) should be considered in further detail in the next phase of work in which the remaining charter questions are expected to be considered (see https://community.icann.org/x/DJjDAw to review the charter questions as well as the work that has already been undertaken in that regard by the CCWG https://community.icann.org/x/PNrRAw). Note that for the purposes of the Initial Report, which is expected to outline the proposed CCWG recommendations for community input, the second page of the survey asks you to weigh in on previously agreed preliminary CCWG recommendations as a result of some of the initial deliberations (see https://community.icann.org/x/PNrRAw). Please note that you will get to page two of the survey after you have completed page one. CCWG members are encouraged to, where possible, consult with their appointing organizations on the responses. Please know that the name of respondents and the results of this survey will be shared publicly (aggregated results, not individual responses).
