Issue 9 - Need for increased At-Large Community awareness and staff training regarding the use of social media | |
|---|---|
Work Track Leader(s) | Heidi Ullrich and Evin Erdoğdu |
Final Proposal as approved by the Board | The ALAC will request additional staff skill development in the area of social media, and to work cooperatively with ICANN Communications social media specialists. |
Prioritization | 2:2:2 (Medium needs : Medium risk : 2nd priority) |
ARIWG comments | This task is related to Activity Item #8 about using social media to assist At-Large with its outreach attempts to attract more participants into our policy development areas and how we can do this more effectively. Also linked to Capacity Building Program as a transversal objective to build O&E, besides disseminating information. Regional members produce newsletters about local regional events and issues. At-Large policy inputs into these monthly information sheets from the CPWG would ensure a consistent information pathway to better understanding of the status of relevant policy advice from the At-Large community. ICANN communication specialists are unfortunately not social media specialists. ARIWG agrees there is a need to well-designed capacity building program for staff only on social media engagements. Noting the need for communications experts who don't speak ICANNese and who can package the message in a way that the end user can relate to it. June 2019: This Issue is almost completely implemented at the time of writing this report and will be completed by the beginning of the ICANN Marrakech meeting, (*23rd June is the Training date involving ICANN Staff beyond those in support of At-Large, the topics to be covered in this general Social Media Training for relevant ICANN Staff is appended to this report for reference. Costs and expenditure for this training are covered in a budget outside of that for At-Large/Policy or ARI specific requests.) Thus, it is reported as substantially completed/complete. A report of the training and note of any measurables for ongoing success in the training or review points will be added to the Issue Wiki page in due course. |
Status of improvement effort / staff lead | Status: Completed (July 2019) If resourcing for specialist staff training can be sourced, then it is proposed that such training be complemented at the next At-Large Staff Face to Face meeting opportunity early in 2019 / Heidi Ullrich is staff lead with Evin Erdogdu. Comms Staff have confirmed a f2f training session for At-Large staff and any interested Policy staff will take place during ICANN65.
