Just because the ASF constrains itself to asynchronous, text-only
interaction, doesn't mean the survey team should force themselves into
that same box. I think the fidelity of the survey could be harmed by
forcing the consultancy into only this modality.

However, nothing should prevent them from using email-based feedback as
an additional channel, especially when surveying a wider audience.

Feedback from specific individuals (as in Milestone 5) has a much
clearer need to be synchronous as well as asynchronous.

Who is being consulted here? If it's dev@diversity, or
private@diversity, I tend to agree with Justin.

I agree that the other direction of information transmission (them to
us) should include deliverables and a recording for posterity.

I'm happy to host this on Zoom where I have the ability to record audio
and any video/screenshare that's done, into files that anyone can have;
just let me know.

Curious about this, too.
