Re: [gnso-whoissurvey-dt] FW: R-5 Whois Survey Question

[Susan Prosser <susan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No problem.

I formatted  my question into a "Yes/No" options.  These can be radio
buttons or select boxes or such.  The final format can be decided later.
 My goal was to ensure accurate, digestible responses.  Considering the
multi-lingual recipients, not having free form input boxes requiring
translation is important, IMO.  My question was easy to do in such a
format.  I'm not certain if the other questions will be as easy.

best,
-Susan
