Yes, we discussed this in Sydney and I took the action to try to include
it in the Foundation annual report. You can find the result in the
Foundation annual report this year:

See pages 7-9. Obviously not optimal (not everybody answered, and some
of the responses are a bit off-topic), but we had limited time to pull
