Let's wait and see the final tally. It was a big argument that email would 
lead to more participation than web based polling.
I like to see how much difference it makes.

Yes.

The April Poll tried to do that and it was attacked and ignored because it 
was not "official".
To be of use, the Poll and the questions need to be uncontested.

To achieve that, I will have to ask "the Panel" as soon as it is elected to 
endorse the Poll.
I do not expect a refusal, but if that happens the members will take note 
of the Panel votes :-)

Otherwise, within time constraints, I am willing to help out.

Thank you for promising to make a start with the proposed questions here in 
public.
Please also post them in the Forum for the wider membership to find and debate.
