It's been a long time since we heard from you.
Likewise good to hear from you.
Is there a reason why the field *has* to be a drop-down list? Might it not be better just to have a free text field, if you don't know what answerspeople are going to give?
It's much easier to build a database query and send email to all 'record labels' for instance. If we were to use a free text field then there could be a different variation for each member that was a record label and that would make searching difficult.
Why does Kendra want to start collecting this information? You haven'treally given us any context, so it's hard to give any advice. Is it formarketing, report, taxation, fundraising?
In the first instance I want to target members that have video content as we have been approached by a number of EU funded projects who want video to use in a trial. But I think it's a good thing to have anyway to show the breadth of media industry sectors that we have represented here.
