Dear all,

I proposed to Wolf to merge the ATLAS II and the Capacity Building surveys for the following reasons:

· Both surveys are urgent since both are needed for the Summit II

· If not merged, they will be distributed in the same period, which will produce a confusion and may lead to inconsistent answers or very few ALSes responding

· The only disadvantage of merging them is that it will result in a very long survey that may discourage the ALSes to go through it.

· The proposal is to conceive a survey of 3 parts:

o Section 1: ALS Details

o Section 2: Part dedicated to ATLAS II WG

o Section 3: Part dedicated to Capacity Building WG

· Section 1 will be very short to provide up to date contacts and languages used

· Section 2 will be finalized by the ATLAS II survey sub-group

· Section 3 will be a very short part for Capacity Building

To make things practical, I’m proposing in the attached file:

· What the CB WG thinks it could be section 1

· Section 3 as shortened by a small team in the CB WG (Dev, Carlos and myself).

I want to remind you that for the ATLAS II summit, the ALSes need to be prepared for an effective and efficient participation, and the CBWG is in charge of such preparation. That’s why the CBWG needs this section of the survey.
