This is part of the DandDTrans"community of inquiry and action" regarding the role that dialogue and deliberation can play in addressing the mega-crises of our time.
Why do we want to do a survey? Concerns about a small response/sample size
Hungry for questions that had both information and invite people into a space of possibility which may evoke more participation, in addition to providing info we can use. What would have to happen for these conversations, and the technologies, to achieve their highest potential? Become attracted to their own vision of possibility."Testing the energy" to see if there's energy to move ahead. These kinds of questions access that more.
What are our own hopes/expectations have been for this Jan. event... seeing what our common ground is. i.e. what is everyone's definition of"success"?
"Pet priorities" for the event... microcosm of the macrocosm...

personally wanting to find people who could be potential collaborators on projects. Reconnecting with people doing work Tom got started with.
How has the D & D field emerged? Who are the people? Would help the field itself define itself.
Come up with strategic project(s) that as a field we could support, and leverage our process skills.

A reminder of our"P&IR"
The purposeof"DandDTrans" is to explore this calling question:”What do we, as members of the dialogue and deliberation community of practice, have to be and do to enable our most positive transformational impact in the face of emerging global crises which fundamentally challenge our business-as-usual habits and systems?”
The intended results of our time together(though January 31) include:
To engage in deep dialogue around our calling question.
To connect to build community and share resources, information and strategies.
To elicit inspiring, actionable possibilities and support the emergence of collaborative teams to work together on bringing them forth in the coming year.
To have the inquiry process itself be a prototype that can be iterated upon in service for systemic transformation.
We're actually doing all of these to some extent. #3: important we put effort into convening and hosting work; actively reach out to people. To the extent we do that, odds go up that teams will emerge going forward. All that still works for me.
Came in late to the process; interested in the 4 items above. Drawn primarily to Tom's question and ref. highest potential of this community. Process includes technical as well as ontological tools. Where values of those tools end, and where original goals were is something I'm still playiing with. Mindful in terms of survey concept, of goals of anyone who would have participated in this process. That's what's measurable and of value, re: expectations and objectives in participating were being met.

Wanted to practice online dialogue, and support Ben and others in creating a healthy space. Mainly a process piece, vs. content, that will constantly emerge. My main goals are satisfied.
