The first edition of the @witnesssurvey has now been distributed to each of the 150 active witnesses on the Steem blockchain. We've asked they complete their responses by no later than December 11, 2018 so we can include them in the final report that will be released on December 18, 2018. Witnesses were notified by a memo transfer that contained the follow message:
Thank you for supporting Steem by maintaining your witness. Steemians have created the first @witnesssurvey questionnaire that we'd like for you to participate in. Please respond to each question within a new Steem post and then leave a comment on this post for us to find your responses by 12/11/2018 so we can share your views with the community. https://steemit.com/witnesssurvey/@witnesssurvey/witnesssurveyv1-asqhhy51rj
In the table below we've listed each active witness as noted on Steemian.info along with the block where they were notified of the survey. If you've not seen your favorite witness respond on our first survey then please contact them and let them know you'd like for them to answer the community's questions.

All data that is submitted will also be maintained at witnesssurvey.com. This centralized site will be an easy place to locate past witness answers and to give users answers to where witnesses stood at the time of our surveys. It is intended to act as an easy reference point for where to locate data on each witness even if they choose to not participate in this project.
I like the initiative! Will see about responding to these questions. Will need some time to really answer these as some questions might get a bit long ;)

Dear @witnessurvey and all, I would’ve loved to write a post answering all (or most) of these questions. I even started on the post immediately after this was posted. Unfortunately, my grandmother became ill about 2 weeks ago, and died Sunday evening. This has taken up a large part of my time, energy and mind the past few weeks, and will continue to do for the coming weeks. Hence, no big Steem posts from me (you might’ve noticed), just the bare minimum of “maintenance”. Sorry for that.

No thank you @ayogom! You and the rest of the hardworking Steemians who provide witness services should be thanked regularly by everyone who uses our blockchain.

You are more than welcome and thank you for your dedication to Steem! Witnesses, in my opinion, are often not valued for the work they provide here.

Yea I agree with you. We are honored that we could answer your questions.

Great idea, but I will not create a single post for each question. This would spam my feed. I'll prepare answers and combine them all into one post.

You nailed it! I apologize for the way the message came across. It wasn't intended that each question be a post but rather that you create your own post rather than just a comment on the survey. After I reread I can definitely see how that was poorly communicated. The goal of seeking each witnesses making their own post is to raise the proof of brain abilities of @witnesssurvey and thus improve future iterations.

Thanks for this! I liked the questions. As a note, although I'm not sure what you used to find them, there are more than 150 active witnesses on Steem. For example, I'm listed as inactive on here due to me not having gotten a block yet. Here's my response. Cheers!

I was hoping to get to this before the deadline, but our family move to Puerto Rico combined with a nasty head cold and a tweaked back meant it kept getting pushed to the back burner. Maybe I'll get to it later.
