I'm writing this "from the moderation team".
We're about to try out a facility we have not used before, and will be using
it to gain valuable information from the data protection membership on the
policies we need to follow as moderators.
JISCMail has a facility to carry out surveys. Pretty obviously we can use
the surveys for just about anything, but most people prefer them to be used
sparingly, and only when relevant. We're just in the final stages of
compiling a short (7 question, not arduous at all except for the compilers!)
survey to make sure we meet your needs with one of the ways we manage the
list.
The survey was suggested by Ibrahim and we're grateful to him for the call
to action.
Now, the mechanics of this thing: Members of other lists may have seen them
before and know what to expect. We mods have not and thus are a little in
the dark. We expect the JISCMail system to send it out on Monday when we
make the survey active, and we know it will send you to a url where you an
answer the survey. What we don't know is what the covering email will look
like, hence this weighty preamble.
This survey will run for two weeks, well more like two weeks and a day! It
will close automatically and the system says it will then send the results
(presumably as another url) to the list.
When it comes out we'd love it if as many people as possible answered it.
If it takes longer than five minutes to complete then we'll be very
surprised. We really do need a significant sample of answers in order to be
influenced by the results. Our intention is to ensure that we manage the
list by consensus wherever this is possible within the JISCMail rules. We
can't break the rules even if a consensus appears to mandate us to.
