User Committee for Gemini Survey

We would like to request your participation in a community survey being conducted in advance of a Users' Committee for Gemini (UGC) meeting to be held on September 23-24, 2025. The UCG meetings include comprehensive discussions on Gemini science priorities, current and future instrumentation, strategic planning, communication strategies, and more. This questionnaire is meant to specifically inform how Gemini communicates with its User Communities in the future, so your responses are vital to guiding these discussions. To allow time to incorporate your responses and generate discussion points, responses are requested by Friday, August 15th, 2025. As the representatives of the Solar system community on the UCG, we would like to particularly encourage participation from our community to help ensure our unique needs and priorities are captured by the survey. Please note that you do not have to be a regular Gemini user (or a user at all) to fill out the survey. Feedback from all is welcome! The form can be accessed at https://forms.gle/xDi5o7AyuysTkUm18 .

Regards,
Henry Hsieh & Charles Schambeau
