On or off the record:  Given a sufficient volume of survey results, we may eventually offer a more transparent version of survey results, in which the pool of "on-the-record" respondents for each NGO can be viewed as a list of each respondent's name, occupation, and location. Only pooled (not your individual) results will be displayed; hence your assessment will remain anonymous, but your participation in the survey will not. Do you wish to be "on the record", as described in the preceding paragraph? [ Yes ] [ No ]
