Thank you for your reactions to the discussion:
Three quick points from me:
1. To the Mass Observers who look at MOA jiscmail
Please remember that not everyone who joins the discussion list is an
Observer like you. They may be researchers or just interested members of
the public.
If you want to talk to us at the Archive directly (eg about staying on the
mailing list) please email to [log in to unmask] so that Jessica picks up
your messsage and can act on it. I am only moderating the jiscmail list
temporarily and may not see your messages in the longer term unless
Jessica draws it to my attention.
2. To everyone else
Bear in mind that our policy is for the next 3 years is only to have 2
directives a year and only 2 themes per directives and these directives
should if at all possible pay for themselves. You may all dream up
wonderful themes but will you cover the costs?????? Or find someone who
will? They cost about £5K a time (without any profit). Sorry to be so
mercenary (and that doesn't mean we would do anything for money before you
all rush in!)
3. Not an opinion poll
Please don't forget that lots of research is done on public opinion but
much less on everyday experience. What I try to do when we ask about major
political or national issues and events is to try to relate it to personal
experience. It isn't always easy. There's no shortage of ideas for themes
and loads we could cover again for comparative purposes.
