The deadline for the survey has been extended to March 7, 6 pm, Malaysian Time.
While there has been an overall good response, 850 completed replies,
only a small percentage are from civil society. If we do not
respond, our views will not be reflected. Only takes a couple of
minutes, so please go to <http://survey.igov.apdip.net>
Thanks,
Adam

>===============
>
>**Background and objectives
>
>UNDP-APDIP, in cooperation with UN-ESCAP and APNIC, is conducting a major
>survey on Internet policy issues in the entire Asia-Pacific region.
>
>The survey intends to reach out to all stakeholder groups, public and
>private sector, Internet developers and industry, as well as civil society
>and normal Internet users. This will provide a good overview of what the
>priorities in Internet policy are in your own countries, and how they vary
>for different stakeholders and across countries.
>
>The results of the survey will be conveyed to the UN Working Group on
>Internet Governance and will also help us at UNDP-APDIP to focus our own
>research and capacity building activities in Internet governance on priority
>topics.
>
>
>**How to participate
>
>The survey can be completed online in a few minutes and will be open for
>three weeks until February 26. Maximum outreach is key to the success of
>this effort, so we have made the online questionnaire available in twelve
>major languages of the region.
>
>You can access the English version at http://survey.igov.apdip.net, which
>also contains links to all other languages. Alternatively you can go
>directly to one of other language versions at the links below.

>**How to make this survey a success
>
>In order to get the word out and reach all stakeholder groups in all
>countries, the project will very much depend on local partners. May we ask
>for your help in this regard? It would be immensely valuable, if you could
>make your colleagues/members aware of this survey and encourage them to
>participate. So please do forward this announcement widely.
>
>**Please note: The survey is for residents of the Asia-Pacific region only.

>
>Non-English language versions of the questionnaire require language support
>for the respective character sets to be installed on your computer system.
