A few times a year, we invite people on this list to test new or improved products, services and content. Each round of research is different. We'll invite you to take part in things like surveys, interviews, activity sessions and workshops. Joining the list doesn't commit you to anything. You can accept or decline sessions based on your interest and availability at the time. Best of all, the feedback you provide helps us deliver a better service to all.
