Hi Ada,
I had a look. I agree with Vandana and think your edits were good. One thing I wonder is about the IVOA specific questions … Survey questions that start with “Data Formats and Data models”, "Data Access 1", "Data Access 2", "Data Access 3” … perhaps are better for a 2nd pass after responses to this initial survey and followup contact. Wanted a consensus before considering my own edits.
Thanks,
-janet

And when possible I’ve limited the answers to actions rather than free text. It’s faster to fill-out and it contains the same information.

>> I like the idea of reaching out to missions! Is the survey that you linked similar to the one that was sent out before? Did it get a lot of responses?
>> My main concern is that it is very long (over 30 questions, some long form!) and I think many people will scroll down and give up.
>>
>> Some suggestions:
>>
>> - Have a little text at the top that describes the purpose of the survey and possible benefit to the person who agrees to fill it out. Presumably we are doing outreach to reach people who haven't already entirely bought into the IVOA? If so, then I think we need to offer more of a bridge and make it easier.
>>
>> - Provide an estimate of the time it will take to fill out the survey.
>>
>> - Think about which questions could be removed to make the survey shorter. Some of the questions are not required (no red asterisk). Can we jettison them?
>>
>> - What is missing I think is an invitation to offer help if there is someone who is interested but doesn't know much. Is there a way for them to consult with someone at the IVOA who could give them pointers?
>>
>> - Why are we asking for peoples' emails? If it's to contact them for follow-up, then we should ask permission to do that.
>>
>> Possibilities for shortening if that's of interest:
>> Are we learning anything actionably different from question 1.5 (first light) versus 4.8 (decision timescale)?
>> I don't understand the point of 1.6 (state of software at first light).
>> Could combine 2.1 (primary products) and 2.2 (secondary products) unless we really need that level of detail. If so, why?
>> Why do we care about proprietary period?
>> I wonder if 3.2 (data access use cases) and 3.3 (data analysis use cases) could be combined.
>> 4.1 is required, but there's not a choice for "I don't plan to incorporate IVOA standards into my project". A user could choose "Other", but it's awkward. Also, there should be a choice for "I don't know".
>> Could questions 4.2 and 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 be either combined or made more obviously distinct?
>> 4.7 seems out of place in this particular survey, and covered at least partially by 4.6.

>> If such a survey gets sent by the Exec members to each country we might be able to know which are the missions (too many for me to work out) that would benefit from having a VO access and get in touch with them. This has been done in the past and I think it is time to do it again. There are some missions that need to be targeted soon, e.g. IXPE and SVOM. We have seen that some older missions are also interested in distributing their data using VO tech (e.g. Arecibo). So we shouldn’t necessarily limit to ongoing and future missions.
>>
>> Please have a look at the survey. Is it ok as is to be sent around or do we need to modify some parts?
