Meeting survey results

Just after the Seoul meeting ended, we set up an online survey asking attendees what they thought about various aspects of it.

Of 1,120 total attendees (excluding staff and Board), we emailed 540 of them using the information they had provided on registration and received 110 responses - a healthy response rate of 20.4 percent.

All responses were from you the community (i.e. no staff or Board responses) and the results are below:

Quick analysis: The results are surprisingly good. There isn't a single question where a significant majority of people weren't positive in their response. Obviously there is always room for improvement - two meetings after we introduced the document deadline, it seems there are still large sections of the community that are not entirely happy - we will have to look into why and what we can do about it.

In terms of what happens at meetings, the least important event according to you was the Board meeting - but even then a majority of people felt it was very important or important.

And there was a very positive response to the lively opening ceremony - in which not only traditional Korean drummers but also a young guitarist made famous by a YouTube video played. And ICANN's new CEO is off to a positive start at his first ICANN meeting.

Combined with an extremely favourable review of the overall meeting and the facilities it offered, it seems as though we are clearly doing something right at meetings. Something that we intend to not only maintain but to improve.
