I understand the concerns in regards to asking the question and there are risks, but I absolutely think it�s a question we need to ask as a community and I think other communities should also ask. No personal information, of anyone, will be released as part of this, that would be utterly unacceptable, of course. I have stood on stages and had multiple conversations in which I�ve said there is a problem, we have to face up to that, and I think this is one of the ways of doing it. I also believe that the RIPE Community is strong and wonderful. I think that there are people in the community who do not believe that there is a problem, so discussions and action like this are needed. I think that closing the survey would not be a good idea at this point in time. Please note, neither I nor Denesh have any visibility of the responses, albeit we know that multiple responses have come in already.

I can see numerous issues with this communication and action, and would've preferred it to not have happened at all. This seems like a mistake. </div> <div> </div> <div> I would recommend the survey is *immediately* deleted from <a href="http://surveymonkey.com">surveymonkey.com</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
