<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="Calibri" size="4" class="">This questionnaire is intended as background information to help moderators structure the different breakout sessions. Most of the questions are optional (the ones without
a <span style="color: red;" class="">red *</span>) and are included here to help you prepare for the workshop and to give you the opportunity to answer them in writing prior to the workshop, if you so desire since time will be limited during the breakout sessions.
Please focus on those questions for which you feel you have something to contribute, ignore the questions that are outside your area of expertise.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></div>
