That is not going to be easy, if the only place of activity is this trolled mailing list.This is no reflection on Joop's poll, but less than 10% of our membership is not a ringing endorsement of anything. We need to have a real election, in which a significant number of our 1000+ members actually respond.
*Participation* by 500 members is an unrealistic expectation to put it mildly.Polls are educational, but cannot take the place of an actual election when setting policy for this group, unless a clear majority of our members participate.
