[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: Friendly reminder - Request for help - very short survey : communications needs and priorities

Tue Feb 7 17:29:36 PST 2012

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Klaus and Christian.   All feedback is good feedback!  So thank  
you.

Yesterday 19 people had replied to the survey, mostly (interestingly)  
from Africa, Asia and LAC. Today we have 43 responses. That's a  
fantastic response.    With over 80 chapters all around the world, I'm  
(still) keen to hear from as many people as possible, especially those  
that never usually post to this list.

So more responses, in any shape or form (the survey and a follow up  
email or simply an email off list if you prefer ) are most definitely  
welcome.

thanks for your help everyone,

Anne
