= '''Instructions''' =
* You are welcome to respond to just one, or to all of them, and to write as much or as little as you like. 
* It may help to imagine yourself as someone who will be directly impacted by the quality of stakeholder engagement in the future, and to imagine that your writings will help to shape future frameworks, tools, and methods for stakeholder engagement. In other words, you are a real stakeholder.
* Copy the questions and compose your responses in a document on your computer
** Submit all of your responses via email. 
* This is not an “online discussion forum”, at least not the kind you may be familiar with. If each participant writes one medium length paragraph in response to each question, this group might produce about 150 pages of responses in the next 10 days. 
** We are not asking you to read all that “raw data”! 
** We, the Facilitation Team, will analyze the responses and create a brief Synthesis to each question and post them in this knowledge base 
* We will make the full responses available to you
** Anyone can check the “raw” response data if they believe that the Synthesis Document misrepresents what the participants wrote in any way.
* The Synthesis Document will occasionally quote participants’ responses, and may also report whose response it was. If you prefer that we do not quote     from or attribute your responses, please indicate your preference with your question response.
* The Synthesis will be posted here  within ten days. 
* [[Round Two Questions]] will be posted at the same time.
