<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi, the idea of a survey has been discussed several times in
the MAG. <BR>While some members were enthusiastic about it and saw a survey as
a good <BR>opportunities for MAG members to "reach out" and actively engage
with <BR>attendees, others were more sceptical or even opposed to the idea.
<BR>Arguments against a survey were:<BR>* it is difficult to design a good
one<BR>* the secretariat has no capacity to actually evaluate the
feedback<BR>* a survey could provide opportunities to manipulate the
outcome<BR><BR>Personally I am in favor of a survey but taking the potential
drawbacks <BR>into account we need to be clear what we are asking for and how
to <BR>organize it in a way that we can cope with the work and provide high
<BR>quality results.<BR>jeanette<BR><BR>Michael Leibrandt wrote:<BR>>
Adam,<BR>> <BR>> Thanks. Wasn`t it Orwell who said that controlling the
past means controlling the future? Seriously, the idea of a
survey/questionaire (or even interviews?) is very helpful. That would give us
at least a chance to find out what people actualy think about the IGF
exercise. Maybe I´m completely wrong, but I have the feeling that beyond those
nice Sunday speaches we always hear during consultations the real attitude is
much more sceptical, especially regarding the cost/benefit ratio.<BR>>
