| 1 | +# Survey questions |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +One of the responsibilities of the [leadership council](https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/leadership-council), |
| 4 | +formed by [RFC 3392](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3392-leadership-council.html), |
| 5 | +is to solicit feedback on a yearly basis from the Project on how we are performing |
| 6 | +our duties. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +> Each year, the Council must solicit feedback on whether the Council is |
| 9 | +> serving its purpose effectively from all willing and able Project members and |
| 10 | +> openly discuss this feedback in a forum that allows and encourages active |
| 11 | +> participation from all Project members. To do so, the Council and other |
| 12 | +> Project members consult the high-level duties, expectations, and constraints |
| 13 | +> listed in this RFC and any subsequent revisions thereof to determine if the |
| 14 | +> Council is meeting its duties and obligations. |
| 15 | +
|
| 16 | +This is a quick annual survey for Rust-lang project members to provide feedback |
| 17 | +on the Leadership Council. Your feedback is appreciated to help steer the |
| 18 | +Council activities. As always, if you have specific questions or feedback that |
| 19 | +you would like to provide, feel free to reach out to any Council member with |
| 20 | +questions. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +This survey is anonymous. The Council will go through all answers and release a |
| 23 | +summary after the survey is complete, similar to the one published |
| 24 | +[last year](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/08/26/council-survey/). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Who are you? |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +These questions will help us determine if there's differences in how we're |
| 29 | +doing across areas of the project. |

| 52 | +## Leadership Council Effectiveness |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +For each of the key [duties] outlined in RFC 3392 (quoted below), we'd like your |
| 55 | +input on how well the Council is performing against that duty. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +You may want to (re)read the last ~year of regular updates from the Council to help build context: |

| 74 | +> |
| 75 | +> Delegating this work, potentially establishing new (and possibly temporary) |
| 76 | +> teams to own this work. |
