1. Is the information received useful or of interest to you?
2. Are you receiving information that you would otherwise not see? 3. Is there too much information? Are you aware that there are two lists (higher and lower volume)? 4. What particular types of information would you like to see more or less of:
Situation reports regarding different countries? Features? Background information on the countries in the region? Other (please specify)
5. Would you prefer if the information was categorised and distributed in some other way?
6. Are there competing/overlapping services which provide similar information?
