Hi Blake,
thanks for taking care of that. I am sure you can find a compromise
here. If it´s the start of a future collaboration, all the better.

Hi all,
All of the people involved in sending the survey request have
contacted me and followed up with the HOT Board.
They have all expressed their sincere apologies for the concerns they
caused and stopped their current method of contacting people.
Because HOT and OSM in general are always happy to work with
researchers to the best of our ability while respecting all of our
users' privacy and good will, we are in the process of figuring out
how best for the researchers to still collect the data they need using
a different approach and complete their project.
As I told the researchers: I think we all learned a little here and I
know HOT will be improving the visibility of how to contact and work
with us for research projects in the future.
Regards,
Blake

Hi John,
it wasn´t my intention to falsify their results;-) But the request
didn´t come from HOT itself, so I wanted to check if anybody knew about
it. I have never given my email or contact data to this university. They
are registered as a HOT user and send me a message.
Regards

If you've been selected for a random sample, and it is a true random
sample, passing the link to anyone else effectively contaminates the
sample.
Random sampling is a mathematical technique that is used in surveys to
draw conclusions based on a small sample that can be extrapolated to a
larger population.
By passing the link on the responses will be bias towards more
experienced mappers who read the list, so to preserve the methodology
the survey should only be completed by the person it was sent to.
There was a discussion earlier in the list with a comment from Pierre
saying it would be useful to run slightly different surveys with
questions aimed at new mappers, mappers with some experience and very
experienced mappers. I don't know if this survey is of that type.
