TABLE OF CONTENTS The survey was carried out over a 1-year period. Names were gathered through seminars and mailing lists from professional societies. After the initial design of the survey, a pilot effort was conducted among 50 organizations. The results of this pilot effort were then employed to generate the final survey.
Survey respondents were provided with the survey through e-mail. If no response was received after two weeks, there were two follow-up e-mails. Each respondent was provided with the survey results. Figure A.1 gives the areas of the survey.
