Re: Survey on IP Address Abuse Reporting Practices and Managements

["Jamie Null (Mobile) via NANOG" <nanog () lists nanog org>]

Hi Weitong,
Who is your PI? Is this survey approved by the HREC/REB/IRB of your institution? 

You must understand, this survey seems a little suspect since it's on google forms, does not identify you, your 
institution, nor your PI, does not contain an ethics approval number, and does not contain contact information.
