Remember this is a conversation, not a survey. Asking about the WG is a very effective way to begin, and gives a lot of follow-up material, a la "so you said your group was very active. How do you…"

We can. Focus groups and interviews obviously yield different kinds of insights. I tend to prefer the quality and depth of one-on-one interviews - focus groups have a tendency to just amplify "obvious" concerns and feedback from usual loudmouths. But it's less time consuming. Why not.
