Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] POLL Deadline -- 0600 GMT tomorrow -- proposal for poll-usage

["Ron Andruff" <randruff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mikey, 

You stated in very clear terms when I asked on the call: When was the cutoff 
date/time for the poll, and when I asked specifically when we would we see the  
results of a complete polling, that you were not going to do this work.

 Now those that may or may not have completed it, based on the co-chair's 
comment that he was not including these incorrect results, are being excluded.  
It is incorrect and unfair to expect the entire WG to be focuced exclusively on 
VI 24 x 7. Sympathetic to those that appreciate the polls or not,  your 
after-the-fact deadline cannot stand.

At the end of the day it is about doing this right over doing this on time.

poll-usage


hi all,

just to clear up one little thing.  let's set a hard cutoff for the poll.   
noon GMT (7am Eastern) tomorrow morning.  

here's the real link to the poll

        http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Initial-report-poll

i'll try to crunch out a repeat version of the summary in time for the phone 
call -- and push out the details right away for those who want to do their own 
analysis.

and how about this for a proposal on the inclusion of the information in the 
report.  i note that on the first page of the survey, my first paragraph reads 
"This is a poll to determine levels of support for various proposals (aka 
"molecules") and components of proposals (aka "atoms). The results of this poll 
will be included in the Initial Report that the WG will be submitting soon."  
so, i'm less sympathetic to the "we didn't know how this was going to be used" 
argument than i was on the call.  

on the other hand, i agree that the "atoms" part of the poll was pretty 
confusing.  so here's my proposition (i'm starting to run out of synonyms for 
"proposal").  

-- exclude the "atoms" portion of the poll from the initial report -- too 
confusing, too much information, not much actionable knowledge anyway

-- include the poll on the proposals 

-- include the poll on the three "conclusions" (Exceptions, Compliance, SRSU), 
noting that these are still moving and opinions may well change over the next 
few weeks

that concludes my report.  remember, if you want to stand up and be counted, 
noon-tomorrow GMT.  if you'd like to be removed from the tally, let me know by 
that same deadline and i'll take your answers out.
