[EAS] MIA's

[Gary Timm]

Just a reminder to SECCs who used Survey Monkey.
If you did a FREE survey, you will only see the first 100 responses you received.
If your results show you received exactly 100 responses, you likely received more than that.
It looks on the Survey Monkey site that if you now pay a fee, you can then see the rest of your survey results beyond 100.
It would seem that any SECC that directed its EAS Participants to a Survey Monkey survey as a way for those EAS Participants to be compliant with FCC rules, that SECC has now obligated itself to paying Survey Monkey to see all received replies to the survey.
If the FCC does at some point ask SECCs which EAS Participants responded, all SECCs must be very legally careful to report all replies received, including those beyond the 100 available in a Free Survey Monkey survey.
In addition, for those SECCs storing their survey results with Survey Monkey until needed in 2018 to report to FCC, you might want to try to establish with Survey Monkey how long they retain these results, lest you lose the results and the proof of which of your EAS Participants complied.

We received a total of 100 responses - Many of which represented station
clusters.

I appears that the distribution of notice of this requirement could have
been better.

Certainly the process of handing this to SECC's to handle was a unique move
by the Commish -

Thankfully we are able to handle it here due to the number of active members
of our SECC...Those states that have one-man SECC's may wish to expand their
membership so that more are available to carry the load.

Clay-

Did you receive mine?

I am hoping for an update from CBA this week on how many stations responded.
I received in my personal email more emails than I can count along with a
registered return receipt requested snail mail and a FedEx letter. I know
Jim Gabbert also got a bunch, and some sent their reports to both of us.

Not sure what we would have done if CBA had not stepped in to help Jim and
me.

Wondering how states, especially states with very large numbers of EAS
Participants like CA, fell about the FCC issuing an FCC directive where
volunteer SECC's had no mechanism in place to carry out the directive, no
standardized collection methods, full time day jobs, etc.
