Download - IGF-USA 2021 Survey Results Final Report
IGF-USA 2021 Survey Results – Final Report The 2021 IGF-USA Subject Matter Survey ran from March 2-16, receiving a total of 108 responses. This document provides a summary of the results. Each calculation is described below and has accompanying charts and tables. This document is the final report that has been reviewed by the Steering Committee. At the end of the survey, respondents were asked a series of questions about themselves, including stakeholder group, number of IGF-USAs attended, and number of global IGFs attended. Before reviewing the results, here is make up of the survey respondents.
Stakeholder Breakdown
• Private Sector: 45 Responses (45.45%)
• Civil Society / Academia: 30 Responses (30.30%)
• Technical Community: 9 Responses (9.09%)
• None / Other: 11 Responses (11.11%)
• Government / Intergovernmental Organization: 4 Responses (4.04%)
Number of IGF-USAs Attended
• None: 16 (15.53%)
• 1 IGF-USA: 27 (26.21%)
• 2 IGF-USAs: 13 (12.62%)
• 3 IGF-USAs: 12 (11.65%)
• 4+ IGF-USAs: 35 (33.98%) Number of global IGFs Attended
• None: 34 (33.66%)
• 1 IGF: 17 (16.48%)
• 2 IGFs: 16 (15.84%)
• 3 IGFs: 4 (3.96%)
• 4+ IGFs: 30 (33.66%)
Survey Structure Based on the results from the Call for Topics and subsequent deliberations of the Steering Committee, the survey was organized into three main sections and built around 9 subject areas:
• Cybersecurity
• Data Governance and Privacy
• Content Policy
• Global Internet Infrastructure
• 5G
• Access and Digital Inclusion
• Digital Markets and Competition
• Artificial Intelligence
• Trust
Section 1 was based on cross-cutting themes. Each theme included in this section represented a lever of influence that could have both positive and negative impacts on each subject and related topics. Respondents were asked to identify the themes they would like to see explored for each subject area, with no limits on how many options the respondents could select. Themes included:
• Best Practices and Norms
• Regulation and Enforcement
• Intergovernmental Cooperation
• Emerging Technologies and Disruption
• Technical Standards Section 2 was based on breaking down each subject area into more specific topics sourced from the 112 submissions received during the Call for Topics. Each subject area included between 5 and 9 specific topics and respondents were asked to rate all of the topics on how essential they are to their respective subject area, using a three point Likert scale:
• Essential - Needs to be included in this subject areas portion of the program and should either have its own session or be a major focus of a session
• Important - Should be included in this subject areas portion of the program in support of the larger conversation
• Not Very Important- Should not be included in this subject areas portion of the program unless organically elevated by larger conversation
Section 3 simply asked respondents to use a scale of 0-10 to indicate how much emphasis should be placed on each subject area.
Understanding the Results This report presents the data in a variety of ways and breaks down the results using various metrics, including how respondents answered specific questions. In particular, the responses from Section 3 will be used to filter the results from Sections 1 and 2. In addition to providing the full data for each subject area in Sections 1 and 2, results will be provided based on the following conditions:
• All Responses
• Results from responses that rated the corresponding subject area 5 or higher – This metric is used to limit the results to respondents that at a minimum recognize the importance of the subject area, but also includes those with a significant interest and/or expertise.
• Results from responses that rated the corresponding subject area 8 or higher – This metric is used to limit the results to respondents that at a minimum have a significant interest and/or expertise in the subject area.
Cross-Cutting Themes Results from Section 1 will be displayed as the percentage of respondents that selected each option and the relevant results will be included in each Subject Area Breakdown. These results will be provided in four graphs/tables – one from each of the Section 3 metrics and another that combines the results into a single graph/table for comparison across metrics.
Rating Topics Results from Section 2 use two measurements – mean scores and response counts for each option. The point system used to calculate the mean score assigns the following numerical values to each point of the Likert Scale:
• Not Very Important = 1
• Important = 2
• Essential = 3 Results for both the mean scores and response counts will be provided in graphs/tables for each of the metrics from Section 3. An additional graph/table for comparison across metrics will only be provided for the mean scores. It was determined that it was easier to compare the response counts using the separate graphs than interpreting the comparison on a single complicated chart.
Rating Subject Areas Respondents were asked to use a scale of 0-10 to indicate how much emphasis should be placed on the 9 different subject areas in the survey. This section provides the results based on two different metrics:
• Mean score of all responses
• Response counts for specific ranges of rating (1-4; 5-7; 8-10) The mean scores provide a general understanding of how each subject area performed in this section of the survey, but the break down by specific ranges allows for a more detailed look at how respondents rated each subject. For example, ”Trust” and “Digital Markets and Competition” had the same mean score, but the specific response counts that seem to indicate that a greater number of respondents at a minimum recognize the importance of “Digital Markets and Competition,” while a greater number of respondents at a minimum have a significant interest and/or expertise in the subject area.
Subject Area Rating The chart and table below show the mean scores for each subject area sorted from highest to lowest.
The chart and table below show the response counts within each specified range for each subject area: 1-4, 5-7, and 8-10.
