    <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt"><span
        style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">As
        ICANN operates on a multi-stakeholder model, we are committed to
        ensuring that we maintain a dialogue with the ICANN community.
        Of particular importance are the opinions of the members of
        ICANN&#8217;s Support Organizations and Advisory Committees as they
        represent a unique perspective on ICANN.

    <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt"><span
        style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">To
        that end, we have partnered with Echo Research, an independent,
        global research organization, to survey our stakeholders to
        gather perceptions of ICANN including their knowledge of the
        organization and their opinions surrounding several aspects of
        its reputation and communications.

    <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:15.0pt"><span
        style="font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The
        research is in the form of an online survey that will take
        approximately 10 of your time to complete. Be assured that the
        survey is hosted on Echo&#8217;s secure server and conducted under the
        Code of Conduct of the Council of American Survey Research
        Organizations (CASRO), which ensures your confidentiality<o:p></o:p></span></p>
