a
broad
outline

questions
that
will
be
asked
during
the
structured
interviews.
It
is
not
intended
to
be
exhaustive,
as
the
actual
questions
asked
will
depend
on
how
the
interviews
flow,
so
this
section
is
intended
to
act
as
a
basic
checklist
and
to
give
an
idea
of
the
types
of
questions
we
will
ask.

you
see

policy
making

In

how
do
you

technical
innovations

anonymity
of

today,
can

they
receive
enough
to
base
important
policy
decisions
upon?
