1. It was agreed
that there should be more work to present the BU questionnaire as part of a Package. The package would not only be used at the meeting but also
sent to those who might be filling out parts of the form [or colleagues
reviewing/verifying or unable to attend
the presentation]. It would be posted as a package to the wgarm
web site. See note 4 below
2. It was clarified
that there are additional and separate
set of Questions related to sampling.
- The main
questions were already circulated in BU Pilots and other groups [additions to
all forms may be added based on the first pilots].
- The
responses to these BU questionnaires and Interviews [and the ones competed by
the ITC and IRAM groups] will be used to help identify good data or record
collections to sample. Draft selection criteria circulated [and to be posted]
- If the some
of the sampling questions just need to obtain further clarification to the
initial questions, the link to the
original question will be identified.
- Some draft
sampling questions should be provided by Entium
before the next meeting. This should link to the stated goals of the sampling. [Possibly
Sean can initially try them out on the internal data groups of Entium or test likely hood of useful response based on the Entium partners experience]

usefulness of drafts of the summarized
and detailed results from ICT and IRAM questionnaires back in a standard
format was emphasised. The importance of a link to the related notes also in
standard format - added by Entium team during
