I also think this is great. I have a few more suggestions to add to Priscilla's. Q9. This could be interpreted as applying to the organization's approach to storage for anything, not just preservation storage. If we change storage to preservation storage I think it would be clearer. (Unless it was intended to ask about an organization's general approach to storage). Q20. I'm not sure what this one is asking. Many of our repositories are both access and preservation repositories so services for both are provided. Is this trying to ask if we provide separate storage systems that provide access-only and preservation-only services? Or is it asking if both access and preservation services are provided, or something else? Q21. I like Priscilla's idea of asking which services are provided independently instead of lumping them together into sets. Can we also strike the word minimal in the question? Maybe change to 'Which services does your organization intend to provide for files in your preservation storage?' or 'Which services does your organization currently provide for files in your preservation storage?' if we want to see the current picture. Q23. I can interpret this question in 2 ways. Is it asking to prioritize features/functions that we would want to be provided by a storage solution? Or is it asking to prioritize these features/functions in general for our preservation repositories? For example I would prioritize having the ability to migrate file formats highly, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that to be provided by a storage solution. Also if we can make it fit, it might reduce errors if we can add some text above the 1 and 5 as a visual reminder of which end is the 'most significant' value. Thanks for putting this together Trevor.
