I think we may perhaps be a trifle overwhelmed, Marika, by the size of 
the poll, the need to understand the handout if not the entire context 
of the EWG report, and of course evaluate the data elements against a 
still inchoate sense of the RDS overall purpose.  I know I am 
overwhelmed, and I am pretty familiar with the EWG report and its new 
data elements.

I certainly appreciate that we need to make progress and move along, but 
this is a big gulp in terms of homework this week, when many of us are 
catching up on work not done while we were in Joburg, or the lucky ones 
who are either on holidays or at the IETF are not going to be on the 
call.  So I have a further concern that not only are we going to have 
our usual slim attendance at the rotational call (i.e. middle of the 
night for North America) but there are other factors dropping attendance.

I am going to fill the poll out, but I have been studying it first and i 
am not sure I am going to be able to fully comment on each concern. I 
hope my comments will be taken constructively, but there is a lot of 
nuance in some of the contextual significance of the data elements.  As 
Andrew Sullivan said

/I fear what is happening is that we are failing to work at the right 
level of abstraction... Therefore, we need to distinguish policy desires 
that are inconsistent with existing protocols or technical deployments 
if we're going to propose policies that require such changes, and we 
need to analyse what utility arises from a given desired element in the 
event that the element is necessarily sometimes wrong. It is bad policy 
to create elements that are likely to be the source of bad policy. /I 
think this true, and while I understand that we have to, for instance, 
provide an opportunity for individuals to offer their skype handles if 
that is the way they wish to be contacted....going through all the 
possible variants of these data elements is not the correct level of 
data analysis. I look forward to the call on Tuesday, but I am worried 
that the results of this particular poll will not be as useful as one 
might hope. Stephanie Perrin //
