ABSTRACT

Aside from the temporal aspects, the successful reporting of data has two components. First, all potential users of the data must be given a means to readily access the report. Web-based dissemination certainly is the most likely way

of getting information out, especially with powerful search engines now available, but providing copies directly to stakeholders is also necessary. If a report is made available, but some stakeholders are not aware of its availability, then the information is not of use, and worse, the stakeholder may feel marginalized. Proprietary restrictions (if they exist) can hinder the communication process, thus it is best to avoid them provided that doing so does not decrease the quality of the report.
