    <p><font color="#800000">With regard to the fact that some of the
        rankings are close, and that nine of twenty-three participants
        did not respond, I am not sure of the best way forward here.
        Recommending mechanism A and mechanism B, while not discarding
        mechanism C yet, gives little guidance to our other colleagues
        with regard to how our deliberations assessed the relative
        strengths and weaknesses of the three mechanisms. Is there any
        way to up the response rate? Can we query to find out if poll
        absence was a deliberate abstention or an oversight? <br>
