Section 21: Community News Subject: Community Survey Msg# 1138167

The Board of Directors approved this survey at their last meeting. Interestingly, when someone suggested the board members should have time to review the survey before making it live, Colette Horn noted that the survey questions had previously been distributed to all board members via email. None seems to even read the survey, seems surprised to hear about receiving the email.
This is a major problem with boards now conducting the vast majority of association business via email. It is time for the board to make all board email interactions public via publishing on the OPA website and exclude only those subject to privacy by the HOA Act. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Association members, or anyone anywhere in the world it appears, can now take a Community Survey for Ocean Pines. It also appears anyone can fill out the survey as many times as they choose. If so, not sure if any results will have any applicability or meaning. Perhaps dupe IP number surveys are rejected, but then responses from both a husband and wife might end up with one rejected, Not to mention, IP numbers can be manipulated with ease via VPN or simply being on a different cell tower. The site may/could exclude certain IPs if you use a VPN. Have not tested that. All it will take is for a few, or even one, screwballs to make the entire process useless. And OPA might not even know it. OPA is hoping for a response of 1000, 500 resident owners and 500 non-resident owners. Assuming that level of return, one dedicated screwball could represent 20% or more of the total responses in an hour or so. It should also be noted that your IP address will be recorded and can be used to identify you in some cases. More on the questions later, but one likely to interest many association members was question 14. Looks like OPA is officially WOKE. 14. What is your gender? Female Male Other I prefer not to answer Well-done surveys can provide some insight into what property owners are thinking. Unfortunately, this survey, as done, should never be used to formulate future policy decisions. |
