6. Should the Federation create a national database to provide information on CPD program offerings?
Yes, a national database of CPD program offerings by all law societies, the CBA, and for-profit providers should be designed and maintained by Federation personnel (highest cost)
Yes, but I do not want the Federation to devote significant resources to a costly large scale national database. A simple portal designed to reside on law society websites with links to sites offering CPD programs should be created and the links maintained by Federation personnel (medium cost).
No, the Federation does not need to provide online information about CPD program offerings (no cost).

7. The Federation has limited financial and personnel resources. With that in mind, what priority would you give a national database to provide information on CPD program offerings?
High - will have implications for other Federation priorities.
Medium - might have implications for other Federation priorities.
Low - only if Federation resources become available at some future date.
Zero - the Federation should not be engaging in this activity and I would prefer other Federation projects remain the priority.
