I am not sure if we should require SSL for all surveys as general policy, I think we should encourage it for sure. I guess that surveys that do not support SSL communication will have a harder time attracting respondents and that's the best incentive for a researcher to use SSL instead of using making it mandatory.

What is the usual way to do it? Use SSL? What are the previous experience and how did the RCom responded previously to similar requests?
