I have asked ICANN to publish the questionnaire on its website, but based on
the email exchanges below, it wants me to confirm whether it is ready for
posting.  It does not want to post it if we are then going to ask for
changes or retract some of it.  
Are we all satisfied that the questionnaire in its current form is okay for
posting by ICANN? Personally, I think we should go forward since the
questionnaire has been out for a week and I think changing course snow would
be disruptive, but I need to hear your thoughts, ASAP please.
