Content is our job. We can certainly improve the interface by working with web developers, and that can probably fit in an ABR, but its not a consultation through a Google Form that is going to give us the kind of input we would need at this point.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Generally, people will not be encouraged to develop ideas on the form, while they may be if they write it in an email thread. Specifically, people may build upon what others say more easily. I think the form would make this process more stunted. In the end, what we want from the membership is ideas that will form into a concrete proposal and that will fit in the request form.
