[...] > [4] https://www.w3.org/wiki/Webizen#Workspace_for_Twitter_questionnaire Hi Webizen taskforce, Jeff, Michiel, I have a short general comment/suggestion on the survey. It relates to a question Michiel asked during the [20-Aug call]: [[ Michiel: Not being a Twitter user, there's bias in asking this huge echo chamber, other channel active as well? ... do you need to be on Twitter to answer? ... many of the people I represent don't have twitter accounts ]] I believe the following statement from the prologue is unnecessarily restrictive: [[ the W3C solicits input from its Twitter followers - those who have already expressed some affiliation with W3C -]] I suggest instead the following text: [[the W3C solicits input from its community - those who have expressed some affiliation with W3C -]] Here is why: Twitter is one of the platforms where we choose to disseminate the survey. The W3C has numerous followers, so this is a good start to reach a broad audience. We could let others disseminate it as well, and/or we could also blog about it, put it on our Facebook page, etc. I think we should not be married to reaching out only to the Twitter followers of the W3C. If the reason for doing so is providing responders with some validator coupons, then, since all we need to award coupons is an e-mail address, I don't see a problem with removing the condition that the survey should be open to twitter users only. Besides, there is no way to check whether responders are actually Twitter users, therefore, the condition is misguided.
