This is a poll of corporate personnel involving the 2006 crop of annual reports to shareholders of publicly held companies. As its name indicates, this is a poll of the men and women on corporate staffs around the world who produce their companies' annual reports. It is not a poll for suppliers to the trade—design agencies, printers, writers or what have you. Non-corporate responses won't be counted.
