Survey report & closing - 12/5/2015

Dear Dubliners, 

Thank you for taking the survey! We closed this phase of the survey this morning and generated following 2 reports around 11 am at the presence of 4 fellow residents: Margaret Liang, Bill Carey, Sattiamoorthy Dessingou and Raju Venkatramana.

We got 405 responses to the survey!

The purpose of the survey is purely to collect public opinion over online. Its up to public to interpret the survey results, decide its significance and decide on how to use it.

We respect our leaders and lot of them are volunteering. The survey is focused on issues and public to rate their performance in the public job. Any comment made by any survey respondent is meant to focus on their public aspects (no comment on personal aspects of our leaders.

While the survey is not completely random sample and limited to online medium, we reached out to as many fellow residents as possible through many avenues (3 community FB groups, OneDublin.org FB page, Email campaigns, Nextdoor campaigns, etc).

Here is the declaration from the Survey team (2 member team - Ganesan Ramu and Bhaskar Tetali) about the process:
  1. Survey has been conducted in a fair way and focused on city & school district wide topics and our elected and appointed leaders. 
  2. If anyone likes to login to view the report directly on the survey monkey website, they can do so (please send a mail to dublinpublicsurvey@gmail.com) within next 2 weeks to meet over the weekends.
  3. Only one person in the survey team (Ganesan Ramu) has ever had and will have access to individual responses to keep the confidentiality.
  4. The individual survey responses will be deleted in about 3 weeks and no electronic or print copy of those will ever be maintained (to ensure highest level of confidentiality of survey respondents). Only volunteering preference information from the respondents will be saved for long term and future communication.
  5. Up to 10 residents and/or reporters (local or public media) can request to audit the survey (who brings 1 witness who is a Dublin resident) and see individual responses of 10 responses selected in random way. This audit will be approved only if the requestor and witness signs a notarized declaration to maintain the confidentiality and not reveal personal info of survey respondents and not record the individual responses during the audit.
Survey reports (no personally identifying info is part of these reports):

Thank you.
Ganesan Ramu
(on behalf of Survey Team)
