Discounting the multiple posts of yesterday (
), I have tabulated results from 23 respondants thus far. I have categorized as follows:
Approval by categories:
General Approval
Moderators
User Advisory Council
Hot Debate Room
Multiple Aliases
There is a similar table for Disapprovals, as well as a section for comments and suggestions either pertinent to these categories or outside them.
If a respondant indicated general approval but disapproved of one category, that respondant’s responses were categorized as a positive response to “general approval” and a negative response to “(specific category)”. If a respondant indicated approval of several specific categories, but did not indicate general approval, only those categories indicated were marked.
Note: There were several comments with valid suggestions as to variations or modifications of the broad category concepts as initially written. These will be incorporated into the final summary, but will be a schedule indicating comments and suggestions. The results as tabulated only address a general position on the broad concept category.
The results to date:
General Approval 10
Moderators 2
UAC 1
Hot Debate Room 2
Multiple Aliases 0
General Disapproval 4
Moderators 1
UAC 1
Hot Debate Room 4
Multiple Aliases 1
Please note that I have received many emails offering both approval and disapproval. My instincts are that these should not be tabulated due to issues surrounding identity, etc. Several people emailing me gave neither FT alias or name, so I have no idea whether they are duplications of actual posted comments, from one person or the same people, etc.
I would be glad to email any of you a spreadsheet that indicates how I counted responses by FT alias if you will email me your request for such. Or, I could email it to someone who is able to post it to a URL for common review.
My suggestion is that I continue to monitor for additional input through today and tomorrow, and finalize the tabulated results Wednesday night. At that point, we can decide what further steps are indicated.
Thanks.
