Summary:	The International Risk Governance Council (IRGC) is an independent organization which focuses on emerging risks to human health, the environment, and society. The objective of the IRGC Nanotechnology Risk Governance project is to develop frameworks for the risk governance of nanotechnologyto provide recommendations to decision makers. This document is the fourth of a four-volume series supporting this project. In preparation for a workshop on January 30-31, 2006 and a conference on July 6-7, 2006, surveys were sent to twenty-five NGOs. These surveys asked a variety of questions regarding nanotechnology, such as the organizations interest in nanotechnology research, area of focus, collaboration with other institutions, etc. This document contains the survey responses in both condensed and verbatim forms. The NGOs surveyed believed that it was important for community dialogues and debates to take place for addressing risk. They also noticed a tendency for governments to focus on environmental and health issues to the neglect of ethical and legal issues.
