Ran during April to May under the title “2018 Data Quality Survey”
Survey link included in:

Twitter postings
Data, summary, and slides downloadable from
99 respondents

A bit disappointed with only 54 responses. It is very difficult to get people to fill out a survey that is focused on data issues.
