<div>I agree with your sentiments, Joan, as to the purpose of this exercise, but I would just like to add that is not possible to anonymise this data set. In addition to the fields we can see, I suspect the survey platform is collecting IP addresses, the date and time of submission, details on the browser, and other fingerprints which could be used to re-identify the respondent. This is particularly true given the volume of text boxes (versus multiple choice options) present, which allows for one's sentence structure / style to be analysed, and the likely small number of respondents. I think it is misleading for the consultants behind this survey to claim that they will anonymise the responses. They do not have the ability to do so. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Ayden <br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block "><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: CCWG Accountability Work Stream2: please complete the Ombudsman Survey<br></div><div>Local Time: 20 April 2017 2:56 PM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 20 April 2017 13:56<br></div><div>From: joankerr@FBSC.ORG<br></div><div>To: NCSG-DISCUSS@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU<br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Thanks Farzi. <br></div><div><br></div><div>It's important that surveys remain anonymous and the focus is on the response and critical input not the collection of personal data.<br></div></div><div>Cheers,<br></div></div><div>Joan <br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 9:24 AM, farzaneh badii <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:farzaneh.badii@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">farzaneh.badii@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">I will relay this to the WS2 ombuds group.<br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Best <br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif" class="gmail_default">Farzaneh <br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><span class="HOEnZb"><span style="color:rgb(136, 136, 136)" class="colour"><div><br></div><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" class="m_8607821614231420652gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif" class="font">Farzaneh</span><br></div></div></div></div></span></span><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 9:17 AM, Joan Kerr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joankerr@fbsc.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">joankerr@fbsc.org</a>></span> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Dorothy,<br></div></div><div>I was so surprise that the personal questions were there too.  Even at the completion, they asked for your information if you want the review.<span class="m_8607821614231420652HOEnZb"><span style="color:rgb(136, 136, 136)" class="colour"></span></span><br></div></div><div><span class="m_8607821614231420652HOEnZb"><span style="color:rgb(136, 136, 136)" class="colour">Joan</span></span><br></div></div><div class="m_8607821614231420652HOEnZb"><div class="m_8607821614231420652h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 3:29 PM, dorothy g <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dgdorothydg@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">dgdorothydg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div>Interesting,  I clicked open the survey and it asks for personal information which it says will not be given to ICANN. Why do I need to give my personal information to this third party?<br></div><div><br></div><div>best<br></div></div><div class="m_8607821614231420652m_2288854111998563187HOEnZb"><div class="m_8607821614231420652m_2288854111998563187h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 4:00 PM, Maryam Bakoshi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a>></span> wrote:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><div lang="EN-US" bgcolor="white"><div class="m_8607821614231420652m_2288854111998563187m_-971106882675370615m_7920625737192183381WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black" class="colour"><span style="font-family:Calibri" class
