Hi Peter this is just a test of a simple survey that Ralph at Big Pulse (who are professionals at all this) put together for me for us to look at as an option/ adjunct to the other methods we are using for data collection. They are all based on the questions to the Community from our Call for Public Comments set... We can make them whatever we want (or not use the tool at all) but it is only with a graded response tool that we can get metrics to measure change from opinions /views held now to compare with those collected in the future (using same or different tool)... I have c.c'd back to the list as I suspect you questions will also be being asked by others and we can perhaps discuss more at tomorrows teleconference if time in the Agenda can be found; That said in answer to your other points...<div>
<br></div><div>Are they intended to be final? <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#330099">No</font></div><div>Who compiled them, and with what goals? <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#330099"> See above</font></div>
<div>Who selects those answering? By what method? <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#330099">ATRT can or we could use methods that the survey experts can advise us of as Big Pulse does do public polling and offers many levels of service; But as the audience needs to know ICANN rather than be 'man in the street' I believe our normal ICANN outreach methods would do just fine if we choose to use the tool...</font></div>
<div>Are they weighted according to any factors, such as whether they form part of the ICANN community - and if so which part? <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#330099">No they are not in this test set, but certainly can be; Again we can decide or take advice from experts.</font><br>

this
approach and what changes you might wish to make to such an approach.
Note the reply email address on this test is mine but in a 'go live'
