I am sure the answer is YES - but how best to do it?
ACO currently have a very bland questionnaire which gives little useful information.
Does anyone have a more useful or detailed questionnaire? Can you suggest any other method?

I have at time experienced great assistance from smart scorers in a situation in which they have a better view than we do on the ground. At some grounds the scorers are sitting in an elevated position in a grandstand, where they have a great view of a fair section of the boundary line. On one occasion when the ball landed close to the line and I could not tell whether it pitched inside or beyond, when my only option usually would to asked the fielder, a quick glance at the scorers box showed a flash of their signal light; I was thus able to correctly signal six with confidence. I have had a similar experience in the case of a ball fielded close to the boundary line, when the scorers were able to give me a quick indication that the field had in fact touched the line while in contact with the ball. I'm a great believer in the umpires and scorers working as a team, and this sort of helpful communication can be an outcome of this.

It depends on the type of feedback...
If we are talking Feedback in the after game session - as a scorer I will sometimes take an umpire to one side and maybe quietly say, "look your legbye signal was hard to see as you were front on to me and as you dont bring your leg up that far it is hard to work out the signal, could you turn side on to give it?" or something like that - the best method is a quiet word over a drink where you can fully explain what you mean.
If the feedback - as suggested by sillypoint - is within the game I would ask the umpire if they wanted advice and if they would be happy with me offering contributions as the match progressed.
