Brad Abrams asks us for help in this post: There is a survey on Code Access Security (CAS) waiting to be taken. It consists of a few questions to determine how - if at all - you are using CAS today and what your plans on using it in the future are. Additionally there is enough room for your opinion and ideas which could possibly influence the development of future CAS versions.
