    • IC Exploration 2A

    You are about to participate to a “survey” “future of the WSF/IC, that is the International Council of the World Social Forum process”. This survey was proposed by a working group created in IC Tunis meeting in March 2013. The target of this survey is to learn how people think about the IC and how it might possibly be reformed for the future. This IC clearly cannot be looked at in total independence from the WSF process, but this survey is only meant to orient the future debates about the existence and the tasks of the IC.

    This survey consists of questions about IC . It will not take you more than 10 minutes to go through it.

    These surveys are important to raise the awareness and to enhance our collective ownership of the WSF process and of the International Council accompanying it.

    We thank you a lot in advance.
