Dear Christiant, Sorry you are right a deadline is needed. I will try to have a meeting with our senior managers next week. So the deadline would be Thursday 19 March 2015 for this purpose (even though we will not close the survey thereafter) We already have 67 responses. Thanks to all those taken the time to reply. Best wishes Ruth From: Food Composition Discussion Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of kouebou Christiant Pascal Sent: 16 March 2015 09:36 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: About the survey Hi, Could you let all the members know the deadline...

In the past, two professionals were working on food composition (Barbara Burlingame and me) with a much higher level of regular budget funding. Barbara left FAO in 2014. In order to know which part of our work is the least relevant for countries, and thus could be de-emphasized, I designed a survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9N5N6G5 which I hope many of you will complete ASAP. Please disseminate it widely also to colleagues who work on food composition.
