I reopened this bug after Ian reverted the change that he had
previously instituted.

3. CAPTCHA BUG:

A draft survey for the CAPTCHA bug was delivered to Mike Smith on March 21.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Mar/0402.html

go live was over thirteen weeks ago.

Mike, what's up with this? Has it been decided to not hold a survey or
postpone a survey or cancel a survey? Is this bug now considered
superseded by the alt Change Proposals? Should I drop this item from
this weekly report?
