> We have experimented and tried different ways to work
together. We are from everywhere and we think and work in so many
different ways. It has not always been easy. Sometimes we did not
achieve as much as we hoped. 
> 
> The IC, that is you and we, feels
that our way of working can be improved. We think, as our last meetings
clearly have shown, that we all want to change the way we work together.
This is why in Tunis, at our last meeting, three working groups were put
into place in order to reflect on the future. This is a first step
towards a better future. 
> 
> Some members of working group 2
concerning the evaluation and the strategy of the IC have prepared a
questionnaire that we present to you with this e-mail. The results will
be presented at our next meeting of the IC. Next to this, we want to
organize a series of in-depth interviews with members and non members of
the IC. 
> 
> _This questionnaire will not take more than 5 minutes to
10 minutes of your precious time. We would be very thankful if you could
indeed answer it._ 
> 
> Thanks to this questionnaire and the interviews
we hope we will be able to better prepare a better reflection of the
work of the IC and the WSF. You can just answer the questions or maybe
give all your ideas and reflections concerning the issues raised. We
would be very happy with it. 
> 
> Thank you for your time and your
participation. We are looking forward to meeting again at the next IC.
