PUBSEC e-mail list survey results

[Denis Strangman]

Hi

I have placed a rtf version of the preliminary consolidation of the 
responses to a survey I conducted in July of the Australian-based PUBSEC 
(public sector management, reform and commercialisation) list at the 
following ftp site:
ftp://caspa.itcs.das.gov.au/pub/
Simply click on the document named <psconsol.rtf > and save and read or 
print.
The original questionnaire is also on the same page at <survey.rtf>

The list had been going for six months and had 365 subscribers, of whom 122 
took part in the survey. There were 91 Australian and 31 non-Australian 
respondents (mostly USA, Canadian and UK).

Topics covered include: employment category, age range, female 
representation (30%), duration of list membership, relevance and volume of 
postings, awareness of other similar lists, number of other lists belonged 
to (av 4.1), e-mail system used (18 different ones), Web browsing capacity 
(10% no), list e-mail reading rate (75% daily), message on-forwarding 
activity, USENET v listservs, moderation v unmoderation, etc.

Looking for a suitable vehicle in which to publish/present the analysis and 
commentary.

Cheers
