Wow. I wouldn't have expected this kind of response from a Wikimedian. When I read it, money hadn't even crossed my mind. Did anyone else think there might be money to be earned from this?
You miss my point, I think. This is come chap using the name of a prestigious university to perform a "survey", even successfully exploiting the goodwill of Wikipedia editors to have information about this survey published on our mailing list. All we're told is that this is part of a "non-commercial cross-cultural research project" and we're supposed to go to a non-secure http site registered in Michigan (not, aas far as I'm aware, part of Israel) to fill it in. I wouldn't respond to a chap with a clipboard in the street who told me this. I'd laugh in his face. Who is he?
Even wower. You're completely assuming bad faith. Very untypical of a Wikimedian. May I remind you of [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith]]?
Why won't Haifa university's servers do?
The site is hosted on com.haifa.ac.il, which is not only in Israel, but even a Haifa university server.
