The chairs have agreed it would be useful for me to send a reminder about the IETF 108 planning survey results [1] as that may provide useful data for this WG.

The survey was conducted during the first two weeks of May and attracted 576 responses, which is a very large response for an IETF survey.  It formed the basis for the structure of the agenda for IETF 108 as blogged [2].  The survey contained the following substantive areas of questioning:

-  Online IETF 107 and the subsequent virtual interims
-  Replacing a cancelled in-person meeting
-  Online meeting format and timezone
-  Replicating humming
-  Replicating the hallway environment
-  Fees

With all the text comments and some low density formatting, the results PDF is 101 pages long and well worth a read.  The comments in particular largely demonstrate the commonality of views and reinforce the quantitative results.

Extracting and cleaning the raw data to maintain anonymity is a bit of an effort but if anyone is serious about doing some data analysis then I would be happy to do that and provide it.

cheers
Jay
