Community feedback and sustainability priorities

***Please Read***

Helpful tip for ranking questions: Several of the following questions will ask you to rank a list of choices. We recommend you read the choices from top to bottom, in order. For each new choice you read, we recommend only moving the choice up if you wish to INCREASE its ranking in the list. Otherwise, simply leave it where it is. Then, move on and read the next choice, and so on. This way you will be sure to read all the choices and your top choices will be moved to a higher ranking while lower priorities will automatically be pushed down the list.

This survey is easiest to complete on a desktop or laptop, but is available on smartphones.
