Thanks very much, Kelly!

A few minor comments follow.

- Let's change "Would you find it useful if W3C were to provide templates for group home pages?" to
  "Would you find it useful if W3C were to provide templates for group home pages (e.g,. to provide
   a consistent user experience across groups, and to automate some WG tasks)?"

- Can you put this question "What information would you put on the group's public home page vs. its public operations home page?" on the same page as the preceding question ("Do you think it would be useful to distinguish a group's "public" home page (for visitors) from its "operations" home page (which would also be public, but focus on meeting details, etc.)?"). They are closely related.

- I note that when you can check multiple answers and "None" is among them, "None" should be
  mutually exclusive of the other answers. Can that be programmed?

- Given the international audience that will be taking the survey we should not say "Meh." :)
 
- I suggest the rating scale, where used, be: "Essential, Important, Somewhat useful, Not useful"
  Does that make sense?

- Can we make live links rather than just providing pieces of URIs? (e.g., w3.org/TR)

- We should put the two site map questions on the same page.
