1. About this survey

As many of you know, The Poynter Institute has been maintaining the Clergy Abuse Tracker since March, 2002. On Friday of this week (Nov. 15, 2003), Poynter will shift to a new publishing system that will change the look and feel of the Tracker a bit and offer some new functionality. Before we make the switch, we wanted to get your assessment of the usefulness of the site so far. Many thanks,
Bill Mitchell/Poynter
