            For iD users the link could be shown directly on the
            website, if desired - this is already being done for

                percentage who get sent links in each country to help
                get demographic balance. For example, if 50% of active
                mappers with changesets in Japan respond to the survey
                but only 10% of in Russia, you could send out more links
                until the total number is representative of the active
                mapper community in each area. And if a mapper doesn't

              available in the language of most users in each area where
              you hope to get useful responses. I appreciate that the
              OSMF has worked on the second issue by trying to get a
              good amount of translations done. But I don't think the
