The
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has unveiled a survey to determine current
perceptions of gender diversity in the ICANN community and to identify
potential barriers to participation, reports ITRealms.
The
purpose of this survey, ITRealms
gathered is to inform community discussions on diversity, following calls for
additional data on this topic.
ITRealms also reports that looking to
clarify perceptions of diversity and equality, leadership, and inclusiveness,
ICANN would like to understand the degree to which barriers such as familial
responsibilities play a role.
ICANN,
therefore, invite all community members to share their views, stressing that
the survey takes about 10
minutes to complete.
In
addition, ITRealms reports that the
survey closes on 8 July, just as responses would be anonymous and would be
used in accordance with ICANN's Privacy Policy.
Further,
ITRealms reports that this survey is
available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and
Spanish. While the survey report will be shared with an analysis of gaps,
perceptions, and potential next steps.
This
data, ICANN said, would help identify ways to enhance gender diversity and
support broad, inclusive participation.
