Why do we publish technical data from ICANN Public Meetings?
Just like any other event, ICANN meetings need to innovate, adapt and evolve to meet their purpose: to support ICANN's multistakeholder model. One of the challenges that conference organizers face is to improve the conference, meeting after meeting, and maximize attendees' engagement and satisfaction.
This is where meeting data comes into play. This data provides reliable information on what attendees want, what ICANN is doing well and where ICANN has opportunities to improve. By leveraging this data, we can be a stable and transparent organization that is responsive to our community's needs.
For ICANN meetings, beyond the graphs and charts, we have published the raw data for each area. One of our biggest challenges is to standardize the information that we collect to ensure that data is consistent. Over the past few meetings, we have automated the collection of data through improvements in the registration system and meeting management software. Ultimately, our goal is to continue to improve on our metrics and to provide our community with more valuable data.
