==== Questions and Available Data ====
  * Our digital job register data goes back to 2003.
  * Our digital membership data goes back at least 10 years. 
    * Demographic information is self-reported and not broadly consistent with federal standards of classification.
    * Our membership data will have the unclear bias of "people who choose to be AAS members." 
    * It is not obvious how this would bias the information.
      * Possible examples: 
        * Are we undersampling small institutions? 
        * Are some other institutions over or under-represented based on local department culture? 
        * Are astronomers from certain types of institutions more likely to be AAS members?
    * In addition, the overlaps between our membership and the proposing-and-funded or proposing-and-not-funded cohorts are unclear.
  * We think we could provide a secondary estimate of the field demographics to compare to the agencies' datasets, but as a primary source, our data would introduce unclear biases.
  * Draft v2 of our proposed AAS member survey on grant proposal success rates available {{:aaac:aas_prop_pressure_survey.v2.docx|here}}
