+
+### During the Process:
+1. **Encourage participation** by responding to early contributors
+2. **Ask follow-up questions** in threads to get more detail
+3. **Thank participants** publicly to encourage others
+4. **Share interesting insights** as they emerge
+
+### Managing the Data:
+1. **Screenshot poll results** before they expire
+2. **Copy thread discussions** to a document for analysis
