Discussion

Bi-yearly Survey

  • Martin hosted a community call to review the survey.
  • Notes and suggestions from the call need to be integrated into the survey
  • Pending review and feedback from the Advisory Committee
  • The group discussed the need (or not) to collect more demographic data
    • Grants applications rarely request them.
    • Having more details may influence how we communicate with the community, but we don't have an action plan to leverage this information
    • Recommendation from the AC and CS&S is that if we are not directly using it, then there is no need to collect.
    • Therefore, we will not expand the demographic question in the 2026 survey.
