[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] IMPORTANT: Invitation for Poll from 29 August Meeting

I don't think we need to retake the polls. We just need to clarify that 
when we said optional, we meant it in the real sense of the word, not 
the ICANN-style interpretation-bending sense.

>         Layman optional: If you have a valid answer, you can choose

>     far from clear, despite the amount of precedent in ICANN-land)
>     5. We should clarify absolutely that "optional" means
