You can chose to make a contribution which helps to improve and broaden understanding of the TF, or you can choose to make noise. 

Your choice.

I invited them to undertake this project and participated ex officio, and then based on their draft, provided the typing of the FINAL version of the survey questions.   You seem to be accusing Ross of taking full credit for the work of the small working group.

  No Danny was CLEARLY stating that YOU Marilyn were in effect taking
credit for work that YOU were not solely responsible.  Those ARE the
facts!  (See Danny's previous comments below along with URL Reference).

  Just perhaps Marilyn yet again you are suffering from some sort of
reading comprehension problem.

No a "Chair" is to facilitate primarily, not delegate.  It is clear now where
many of your perception problem come from Marilyn.  You have revealed
here that you leadership knowledge base is lacking...

  Why?  What need to be improved BEFORE the now questionnaire, of
some dubious origin, be presented to any and all of the stakeholders
in the DNSO?  Improvements can be made yes, but in follow on iterations.
What is seemingly much more important is getting directed and general
feedback.  Perhaps this *questionnaire* can in some ways can do that
now.  Follow on later if needed.

> I note that the TF is taking input on the questionnaire. I suggest that you might want to work through Dan to provide constructive input. You have a wealth of experience that few have and your insights could help to ensure a good survey document.

  Why would any DNSO participant/stakeholder need to go through anyone?
Why not do that directly to the task force Forum?  Or would that be too
open and transparent?  If so, than I can only say that sounds allot like
AT&T Customer support!  :(

  Danny's comments below could only accurately be construed as constructive
criticism.  If you are feeling a bit put upon, perhaps, as it seems from
you comments above, that is because it is not your style, but your gross
inaccurate characterization (And I m being very kind here! ) of Danny's
comments/remarks.

  If you are really seeking ot hear all sides as you contend here Marilyn.  Than
the Transfer TF would be open to all, and therefor transparent.  It is not,
hence I can only say that you are failing terribly at your task as is this Task
force.

  Indeed true.  And you are looking in this instance as in others in the
not to distant past, part of the problem.

  Again why does any DNSO GA member of member of any constituency
need to go through anyone if as the MoU and White paper require open
and transparent participating by any and all interested parties?

  First suggestion from me.  Develop the follow on Survey later.  Run with this
one of dubious origin now, and in the future, do any development of survey's
in a completely open and transparent ML forum...
