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 />
