Re: Security risk assessment survey for research

["Victoriano Casas, ISO" <vcasas () AUSTIN UTEXAS EDU>]

To Whom It May Concern:

So far - only 4 people completed the survey.  I'd really appreciate a
couple more; please!!

I'm CCing UNISOG --- Please read my email below.

BTW I noticed about 50 different IPs accessed my survey (a few as recent
as yesterday) - if those 50 would submit it via email either in xml
format or just cut/paste into email as plain text, I'd sincerely
appreciate it!

Thanks y'all,
Victoriano
