My point is this will not be anonymous unless we are paying a research firm to conduct the survey for us.
And if ICANN org is planning on conducting this, how do they plan to be in accordance with the PII they are collecting, how are they doing to manage their legal obligations, how do they plan on soring the conformation in line with European law?
And back in the first place, why are we collecting this information at all, what defined purpose do we have for collection of such detailed personal information?
In my mind we cannot stand here as the group in ICANN who advocate for privacy and limitation of data collection within ICANN and support a survey of this kind.

Hi
It says "Confidential-Draft"
That's all that this Confidential means - you're not supposed to answer the survey yet
Until 20 May SO/ACs can send their comments on the questions of the survey
From Stephanie's original message, members can send in comments on the list NCSG-DISCUSS and PC NCSG will submit a comment on the survey until 20 May

That is not to say that you have good questions, there, James
This is a staff survey so I would think that the survey will be an anonymous form and the report drafted will be submitted for comment too
But yes, there may be those who won't trust enough to submit their answers or will wonder about where their responses are going to end up.
Would hiring an external consultant to do this address these concerns?
Would it be effective to create a "safe space" to answer this survey?
Personally, not sure on both answers.
At least the conversation is starting.
Best,
Renata
