The WG is should review the pilot project critically and develop strategies and recommendations for future projects. To get a feedback from the participants this WG is asked to develop a survey, to be filled in by every participant in this programme.

I cannot see this plan as the pilot for any sort of education.  To me it seems like the normal indoctrination given by ICANN: 

" 
  everything is good ICANN, 
  we have no challenges at ICANN, and 
  there isn't an outside world ICANN needs to concern itself with
"

I am afraid that I cannot congratulate you on this plan.  

I understand that this program is the ICANN program and as such, it was it is. 
But please lets not consider it any sort of pilot for a volunteer designed educational program.
