The [[Membership Committee]], in consultation with the [[Editor-in-Chief]] will design and conduct the surveys, with assistance from [[Headquarters Staff]] as appropriate.
It is exected that the survey include questions on each of the major categories of Society activity: [[Chivalry]], [[Genealogy]], [[Heraldry]], [[History]], [[Royalty & Nobility]], [[Communications]], the [[Sub-Groups]], and the varied [[Study Groups]]. Where cooperation from these groups are not forthcoming, efforts must be made to cover those areas, if only to see who might be willing to serve as Chairmen.
It has not yet been decided if such surveys should be online only, print only, or online with print backup. Headquarters Staff recommend the latter for greatst coverage at minimum cost.
The data collected should be maintained in a database available in summary to the [[Board] and [[Finance Committee]], and in detail to the [[President]], [[Dean of Studies]], and in relevant part to the [[Chairman|Chairmen, Deans, and Coordinators]] of the various committees, Sub-Groups, and Study Groups.
One important datum to be kept is the date on which the information was collected, as such does go stale over time.
