Maritza Aguero --- ICANN Launches Age Diversity and Participation Survey 22 March 2019 LOS ANGELES ? 21 March 2019 ? The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is launching a survey to determine current perceptions of age diversity in the ICANN community. It is also aimed at identifying potential barriers to participation. The Age Diversity and Participation Survey will help to clarify perceptions of diversity, equality, leadership, and inclusiveness, which in turn will help inform community discussions. All community members are encouraged to share their views. Please take the survey here: https://go.icann.org/agesurvey. The survey closes on 19 April (23:59 UTC). Responses will be anonymous and will be used in accordance with ICANN's Privacy Policy. The survey is available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The Age Diversity and Participation Survey was created in response to calls from the community for additional data on these topics. It is a follow-up to the pilot survey on gender diversity in 2017. The ICANN organization will share a report with an analysis of gaps, perceptions, and potential next steps. This data will help ICANN identify ways to improve age diversity and support broad, inclusive participation. Please email any questions to agesurvey@xxxxxxxxx.
