I was in the 3-5 years not-yet-vet group and stayed anonymous. <br>
<br>
I felt that surveys should be anonymous and that's why I chose not
to writ my name down, not because I was uncomfortable with
associating myself with what I said therein.<br>
<br>
If there would have been no option for anonymity, it would have been
weird I think.<br>

<div>It may be anecdotal but as a new member I had no problem
with sharing my name, constructive criticism should always be
welcomed!</div>
<div>However I agree with Walid and fully support the ability to
remain anonymous in situations like this, it allows being to
be frank in their replies if they wish and can result in
strong actionable responses.</div>

<p dir="ltr">Thanks Arsene for your comments. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The choice to be anonymous was meant to give
respondents the option to write criticaly and freely. It
is just like voting in an election. As a human rights
activist myself I value this right and suppose others do
too.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Staying anonymous is a personal decision by
respondents and it's my role to show and analyse the
stats. That being said, I suggest not to jump to
conclusions on why veterans were the group most willing to
show their identity.
</p>
<p dir="ltr">The takeway is that having a significant
portion opting to remain anonymous means that we did right
in having that option and should continue to do so in
future surveys.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We're just getting started and I believe you
will find the next few parts of the analysis quite
interesting. So stay tuned.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Arsene, Let me express to you my gratitude for
your dynamic participation. That is what this list is for.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Best</p>

<div>Thanks Walid for your hard work on this.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I agree with Ed's point. Not only some parts of
the world have Google censored but Google drive
requires good Internet bandwidth in order to work.
Which so many African countries doesn't have.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Some thoughts:</div>
- What are your comments on '<i>showing the name</i>'
vs '<i>not showing the name</i>'. Does this have any
relevance? I have been thinking on that since I even
don't remember whether I mentionned my name or I
chose to stay anonymus when filling the survey.
Reason is I found it not relevant for me. <br>
<br>
- Why only veterans chose to mention the name? This
can be another subject of study withing the
constituency.<br>
<br>
</div>
- I do agree with the fact that sending an
individualised invitation is the best option because
sometimes, you don't go through the email trends
because you are less connected or spend less time on
"personal" emails (when this applies). So, for really
important messages, better to think twice on the form
to be used.<br>
<div><br>
I would love to have your thoughts.<br>

Hi Walid,<br>
<br>
The results seem extremely interesting and I look
forward to digesting the them in their entirety.
Thank you so much for your hard work!<br>
<br>
A request: Is it possible to ensure that the
results eventually become available on a
non-Google platform? Some of our members live in
countries where Google is heavily censored and
they are unable to access Google docs and Google
drive. Perhaps we can get it up on the NCUC
website.<br>
<br>
Thanks for considering,<br>
<br>
Ed<br>
