A single message was sent to the list.

The bounced messages were neither preserved nor analyzed; only positive
responses were used.

>3) The geographical diversity of the 5,000 positive responses.

That wasn't analyzed either.  In general, email addresses only give you
hints as to geography; for example, an email address ending in .com, or
course, could be used by anyone, anywhere.  One could do an analysis by
domain, but that wasn't done.  It's just an email list for At-Large
announcements, completely distinct from the old election list.  No names,
addresses, or other data is associated with these email addresses.

>4) The number of responses invalidated and methodology used.

I don't know what you mean by "invalidated".  People could respond and
opt-in to the announce list by email, or they could sign-up by going to the
web site.  If they responded to the email, their address was put on the
announce list.
