I agree with your sentiments, Joan, as to the purpose of this exercise, but I would just like to add that is not possible to anonymise this data set. In addition to the fields we can see, I suspect the survey platform is collecting IP addresses, the date and time of submission, details on the browser, and other fingerprints which could be used to re-identify the respondent. This is particularly true given the volume of text boxes (versus multiple choice options) present, which allows for one's sentence structure / style to be analysed, and the likely small number of respondents. I think it is misleading for the consultants behind this survey to claim that they will anonymise the responses. They do not have the ability to do so.Ayden-------- Original Message --------Subject: Re: CCWG Accountability Work Stream2: please complete the Ombudsman SurveyLocal Time: 20 April 2017 2:56 PMUTC Time: 20 April 2017 13:56Thanks Farzi.It's important that surveys remain anonymous and the focus is on the response and critical input not the collection of personal data.Cheers,JoanOn Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 9:24 AM, farzaneh badii <[log in to unmask]> wrote:I will relay this to the WS2 ombuds group.BestFarzanehFarzanehOn Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 9:17 AM, Joan Kerr <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Hi Dorothy,I was so surprise that the personal questions were there too.

As part of the CCWG Accountability Work Stream 2 assignments, the ICANN Office of the Ombudsman is currently being assessed by an independent assessor. It would be great if you could spare 5-10min maximum to take part in the survey that closes at the end of this week.
