You should take [this material]() with you on the day of your research, distribute it among participants, and answer their questions about how to fill it in if they have any.
-* Interview Process: Thank the participant for their willingness to participate in this process and explain that we are testing the product, not them. The interview should not last longer than 20 minutes, you can record if you wish, but you can also take notes on the printed material you will carry with you (or on your computer).

 ## Coordinate with the trainer and the Tor UX team
 You're not doing all this work alone - we will support you with meetings, guides, and mentorship if you want. You can join us at any time on our IRC channel #tor-ux and our [mailing list](https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ux).
 
-You must be aligned about the agenda and time to run interviews (if that is the case) during the end of the training. **We strongly recommend that you go through the program of the exercise with the trainer**. Also, we want you two to coordinate feedback together — both for you and for your audience.

 ## Report to Tor UX team
-Before ending the training, coordinate the feedback with the trainer. The two of you should work together to hand out post-its for the audience, you can give each participant post-it of a different color per question and ask them to fill it with what they think about: 1. the service they just learned; 2. Tor project; and 3. Tor in general. It can also be questions - keep in mind that any feedback is a good feedback.
 
-It is very important for us to hear back from you. We want to know how the training and the research was for you, how we can improve our support and also, if you want to keep running Tor User Research. We will ask you to fill a form at the end of the research, so we can get your address to send to you a researcher kit (t-shirt and stickers).

 As a volunteer we also ask that you read and follow our [Code of Conduct](https://gitweb.torproject.org/community/policies.git/tree/code_of_conduct.txt), as well our [Guidelines for Research](https://community.torproject.org/user-research/guidelines/).

We believe it's important to collect basic demographics to help us understand if we are meeting our mission regarding diversity and inclusion. In addition, collecting these demographics is required for specific studies to support human rights.

-**Decision-making process.** We don't have a single model for decision making. After conducting your research, it's normal to be excited to see your feedback implemented as soon as possible. However all feedback must be discussed internally across the different teams at the Tor Project first. This means that it's often necessary to run the same research more than once to validate your findings, and meet the expectations of the engineers, developers, designers, researchers and others at Tor. Please read our [Guidelines](https://community.torproject.org/user-research/guidelines/) to get to know this process more.
