Topics for Brainstorming


Although ranking was not specifed in the call for voting on topic interest, we experimented with weighting each respondant's listing from the top down assigning a value of 5 to the top response, 4 to the next, and so on. Note that weighting did not effect which topics landed in the top 5.
