Notes to SCI Members and Other Reviewers: - Initially, the questionnaire material is presented in plain text for the purposes of editing/finalizing the content. Once the design, structure, sequencing, and language have been approved, the intention is to enter the questions into an online tool (e.g., QuestionPro, SurveyMonkey, Wiki) to facilitate data collection, analysis, and reporting.
- I recommend a 5-point versus 7-point scale for this purpose. The principle advantage is that it is easier (less stressful) for respondents to make selections when the option set is smaller. The disadvantage is that the statistics will generally exhibit more central tendency (toward the mid-point or 3) because the scale is narrower.
- All of this material is submitted as DRAFT and I welcome the SCI's feedback, questions, and challenges. For example, you will notice that I did not insert a question to assess Leadership because I think it can be inferred based upon other dimensions (e.g., Participation, Behavior). If a Chair, or other leader, contributed to an ineffective and inhospitable climate, we would hope to see one or more supplementary text comments to that effect.
- I have not attempted to complete this questionnaire to determine length. It "feels" to be within an acceptable range based upon others I have designed; however, we should perform a test to ensure that it (a) can be completed in a reasonable period; and (b) is clear, comprehensible, and straightforward.

Welcome and Introduction
Thank you for accepting the invitation to complete this questionnaire concerning your experiences with the __________________________ Working Group (WG). Your Chartering Organization (CO) and other ICANN stakeholders are keenly interested in learning about the effectiveness of its chartered teams by asking participants for their assessments, perspectives, and insights concerning various aspects of the Working Group's operations, norms, logistics, decision-making, and outputs. The results of your feedback will be used to identify improvement areas in the guidelines, tools, methods, templates, and procedures applicable to Working Groups. Summary reports will be shared not only with your Working Group, but the larger GNSO stakeholder community.
