We have added an item to the survey which offers the possibility of submitting your email. If you already responded to the survey earlier than last Friday (March 12th), feel free to <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebuEBazUK4YrqOG0lHHFOdVdBOWUzIl7rxAA9LGVwdxj4SsQ/viewform">add your email here.</a> If you would like to remain anonymous, that is completely fine too, and you do not need to respond! <br><br>Thank you all for your guidance and suggestions.
