How Should We Raise Global Awareness of New gTLDs?
Engage the ICANN Community.
17 August 2011
As part of the launch of the new gTLD program, ICANN's Board of Directors
mandated a communications campaign of "at least four months" to raise global
awareness. Leveraging the ICANN community is a component of the draft plan to
achieve that.
In order to make the most of our global community's knowledge and networking
capabilities, we are preparing multilingual materials that community members
can use to raise awareness of new gTLDs. These will be available online with
the launch of the new gTLD web site in September 2011.
We would also like to ask community members to recommend events and
opportunities to raise awareness of new gTLDs. Please send all recommendations
to Natalie Schoer (natalie.schoer@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:natalie.schoer@xxxxxxxxx>),
ideally at least one month in advance of the potential event, and include the
following information: event date, time, location, information on sponsoring
organization, expected audience and a link to the organizers' website. A
calendar of events will be posted online.
Due to limited resources we cannot promise that we will participate in every
event, but we will consider it against the following established criteria:
* Audience composition. Does the event reach beyond the audience ICANN
typically communicates to? Does the event reach the audience targeted in the
draft communications plan, in large enough numbers to justify sending a
spokesperson? Are audience members influential and able to help spread the word
further?
* Partnership opportunities. Are there other organizations that we could
partner with to get the most benefit from the event?
* Quality and visibility of the speaking opportunity. Is it a keynote
address or other high visibility slot? Is the event professionally run and
promoted?
* Media potential. Will top-tier press be at the event or available to
attend a press conference or one-on-one interviews?
* Options for marketing exposure. Do the event coordinators offer
opportunities to promote awareness of new gTLDs beyond the speaking slot?
* Sponsors. Who are the sponsoring organizations at the event?
* Proximity of other events. Are there other events in the region that we
may be able to take part in while we are in the area?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions and assistance in helping us raise
global awareness of new gTLDs.
