Thanks for your comments. The voting is open to public now, and not just restricted to registered members. Please spread the word. Also we'll soon put out a global survey on surverymonkey as discussed above. We were relying on "gulabjamun" to do this but he/she is not be active for quite ...

Another idea that just struck me was to do a review of all the newspapers that did an article on a topic related to the current "succession struggle." Perhaps we could contact those journalists and their editors to run an article on the results of the survey. A Google search with "Boh...

Good idea! Thanks very much!

Dear brothers and sisters, I feel as if there has not been sufficient discussion/debate on what we can do with the results of this global survey. Can we please have some more discussion on this topic? The survey is ready to go live. Though I have not released it because I really want us to have some...

Thanks "Nietzsche" and "hsnhussein" for the ideas. We need more such ideas to make sure that we have a very wide reach. I think that spreading the word individually also can have a strong effect. If each of us shared this link to people we know via the following ways (see below),...

So far we have only 58 correspondents. That is even less than the number of reformists let alone mainstream bohras. I don't think this result will matter much. The survey has a small response rate because of two reasons: It is being carried out in the http://www.dawoodi-bohras.com website where mem...

Thank you Admin. This would be great.

I am agreeable to the revised draft presented by Humsafar As to gulab jamun's questions about what can be done with the results of the survey and what kind of actions can be taken using the results of the survey, I think we can address these matters after looking at the results of the survey Thanks...

A suggestion we can have educational level as a demographic survey it would be a good insight on whether Educational level determines whether our community needs reforms. Excellent idea! I'll definitely include this one. It will give interesting insights regarding the views of respondents in relati...

Just a question to everyone; As I was reading some of the information on how to conduct a successful survey, I started to think about the following: I'm certain that the survey will yield interesting results, but what can be done with the results of the survey? I need your help to think through what...

Asalaam aleikum everyone. I have placed the questions into a survey format and this is how it looks (see below). I have given the survey a title and changed the questions slightly. Please send me your comments. Understanding our community's needs and expectations *1. Are you male or female? Male Fem...

We agree with AliZahara, let's keep it simple and straight forward. We do not want it to become a referendum on the choice of Dai. Thanks AliZahra and Admin for the advice. I agree. This is what I'm looking for, discussion from more people so that we can ensure that the quality of the survey is goo...

Request to Admin: Would it be possible to place this topic which falls under the "Global announcements" section of the forum to appear on the homepage (i.e. start page) please? We are not getting much comments and responses because it is a little bit "hidden" (i.e. one has to cli...

Here are some other aspects that could be included in the anonymous survey: To understand the type of respondent (respondent profile), the following questions could be included (without risking the identity of the person being found out via proxy information i.e. the respondent should feel comforta...

Thank you everyone for your comments. A similar attempt was made not long time ago to put out a survey like this but nothing came of it. In anyone has more questions please post them here, and let's seriously finalize the questionnaire so that we can put out the survey as soon as we can. Thank you ...

Actually, a similar survey should be conducted on FatemiDawat.com website if it hasn't been already. And there should be no registration requirement to take the survey. It should be open to anyone. Most people will stay away if you ask them for their email addresses. Maybe the Admin on this website...

Asalaam Aleikum everyone, This is a very good initiative and an excellent idea. Collecting information is always a good place to start, because if we want reform and policy shifts, then these have to be informed by evidence (which is what this survey is all about). I'd like to make four suggestions ...
