Appendix 2: Wider c<strong>on</strong>sultati<strong>on</strong> for the<br />

Report<br />

The aim of the c<strong>on</strong>sultati<strong>on</strong> was to obtain views from as wide a range of organisati<strong>on</strong>s and individuals<br />

interested in the area as possible. The c<strong>on</strong>sultati<strong>on</strong> document was published <strong>on</strong>line and made<br />

available in hard copy <strong>on</strong> request. Individuals and organisati<strong>on</strong>s that the Working Party expected to<br />

have a particular interest were also directly alerted by email and encouraged to resp<strong>on</strong>d. The<br />

document was divided into three main substantive parts:<br />

■<br />

■<br />

■<br />

the nature and identity of emerging technologies;<br />

the cultural, internati<strong>on</strong>al and historical c<strong>on</strong>text; and<br />

the relevant ethical, policy and public engagement issues.<br />

In total, 17 questi<strong>on</strong>s were posed, and resp<strong>on</strong>dents were encouraged to answer as many, or as few,<br />

as they wished. Eighty four resp<strong>on</strong>ses were received, 48 from individuals and 36 from organisati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Eight resp<strong>on</strong>dents wished to remain an<strong>on</strong>ymous. All the resp<strong>on</strong>ses were circulated to Working Party<br />

members and a summary of resp<strong>on</strong>ses was c<strong>on</strong>sidered in detail at a subsequent Working Party<br />

meeting.<br />

A summary of the resp<strong>on</strong>ses received, together with the original c<strong>on</strong>sultati<strong>on</strong> paper, is available <strong>on</strong> the<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Council</str<strong>on</strong>g>'s website. 706 Individual resp<strong>on</strong>ses will also be published in <str<strong>on</strong>g>full</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> the website, where<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>dents have given permissi<strong>on</strong> for the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Council</str<strong>on</strong>g> to do so. The resp<strong>on</strong>ses received played an<br />

important role in shaping the Working Party's thinking, and the Working Party is grateful to all those<br />

who c<strong>on</strong>tributed.<br />
