[Vision2020] V2020 questionare???????

[Bill London]

D-
For the record....
The process I used in the creation of the V2020 candidate survey this year
is identical to the process used in the previous 4 election years.  This was
an email based committee that never met in person.

I announced formation of the committee a few months before election and
asked for volunteers
I took suggestions for questions from committee people via email
I produced a series of draft surveys (6 questions) and sent to committee for
refinement
I sent final survey to candidates and then sent their answers to Bill Moore
at First Step for posting on website.

The members of the committee have varied over the years.  This year -- as I
recall -- those who sent questions and participated in the survey edit
process were Bruce Livingston, Kenton Bird, and Pam Palmer.

The questions posed in the V2020 survey were quite different from the ones
posed by Joan Opyr.  Joan played no role in the V2020 survey preparation
this year.
