I strongly suspect many think it is totally non-commercial and I've seen a number of businesses who didn't realise they could use the maps without payment.<br>

Is this really a serious question, or a serious survey, or am I just completly mistaking about OSM since the beginning, or is my English not as good as I thought it was?<br>
Sorry for the interruption,<br>

In an ideal world the way to get a proper random sample would be to select<br>
OSM mappers randomly then message them. Hopefully you'd get better than<br>
90% response rate to keep it statistically meaningful.<br>
Reality is you might be lucky to obtain a 2% response. So the next best<br>
thing is OSM-talk and hopefully he'll get the 1,000 responses which he<br>
needs to make it statistically meaningful.<br>

Remember that we're sending emails and that the task can be automated,<br>
so a 2% response rate isn't really an issue. And it's much better to<br>
individually contact a uniformly random sample than to globally<br>
contact a biased sample (only a particular kind of contributor follows<br>
mailing lists). As a added bonus of contacting individually, you<br>
already know the person's mapping profile.<br>
<br>
Here are a few proposed guidelines to keep things in check though :<br>
* treat a survey like an import: it should be community-reviewed and<br>
accepted before going ahead. Be transparent, be usefull, be well<br>
writen, be multilingual, etc.<br>
* set target request and response counts ahead of time, and stop<br>
sending requests whenever one of the counts is reached<br>
* provide a way to opt-out any future survey via you osm account<br>
<br>
Any other do's and don't ?<br>
