===Draft Report===
Although not included in the executive summary as "key findings," the draft report noted a strong consensus among the structures responding to the survey that GAC interaction, transparency, and collaboration had improved significantly. Individuals had a less favorable view, but the draft report concluded that there might be closer attention to recent improvements in the GAC's communication strategies among leaders of SOs, ACs, constituency groups and RALOs.<ref name="draftrep" />
