We also need to take out duplicates, which I am not sure has been fully done.

Thanks Ron. That's exacty the kind of thing I had in mind. For example, I know 
of at least two members who have been active on calls and who supported RACK 
that did not vote. Recent communications with them off list indicate they are 
still supportive of it. I'm not suggesting we add their support to the poll 
numbers, the poll is what it is. But the fact that they were members who did 
not vote is material, in my opinion. We should not try to second guess or make 
assumptions about why members chose not to respond to the poll, and we should 
not just ignore them as if they don't exist.

How about a graph/pie chart that looks like this? (Of course we need to put in 
the numbers of those that did not vote).

I thought it was clear from the numbers that not all members participated,
as we have the total count.
But we can be more explicit about that. Maybe we can have a "did not vote"
group that accounts for that, rather than artificially lumping them together
with "no opinion".
After all, they might well have an opinion, but chose or were forced by
external circumstances not to express it.
Cheers,
Roberto
