Dear all: Apologies for replying to cross post
Dear Olivier
Can you post the url for this questionnaire?
I am a frequent visitor to the WGIG website, and this is the first I
have seen of it!
Perhaps it is WSIS and not WGIG? If so, I am curious as to why they
have not left this to WGIG?
It also seems to be poorly designed, for example, if I answr "No" to
question 1 all the rest of the questions in Process/Function 1 are
nonsensical.
The first question in Process/Function 2 also presupposes a yes in
Process/Function 1 , question 1. Several of the other
Processes/Functions repeat this pattern.

It seems the discussion is already quite "structured" towards a new
body already ;-(
