<div>Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, Chuck. I agree that these polls should not be considered a referendum, but I do think there is value in collecting and publishing details on which stakeholder groups are participating in the poll. Perhaps we do not need to know that X voted for Y, but I would find it helpful to see a simple pie chart for each survey which broke down in an aggregate format which stakeholder groups had participated in the polling. Thanks for considering this suggestion for a future poll. <br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block "><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user "><div>Ayden Férdeline<br></div><div><a title="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/ferdeline">linkedin.com/in/ferdeline</a><br></div></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite" class="protonmail_quote"><div>-------- Original Message --------<br></div><div>Subject: Re: [gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Input requested: RDS PDP WG Poll on Purpose - 13 December<br></div><div>Local Time: 19 December 2016 5:46 PM<br></div><div>UTC Time: 19 December 2016 17:46<br></div><div>From: cgomes@verisign.com<br></div><div>To: vgreimann@key-systems.net <vgreimann@key-systems.net>, gnso-rds-pdp-wg@icann.org <gnso-rds-pdp-wg@icann.org><br></div><div><br></div><div> <br></div><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="colour" style="color:windowtext"><span class="font" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt">Thanks for the suggestion Volker but I have a few concerns/thoughts:</span></span></span><br></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span class="colour" style="color:windowtext"><span class="font" style="font-family:Symbol"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span class="font" style="font-family:"Times New Roman""><span class="size" style="font-size:7pt"> </span></span></span></span></span><span class="font" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><span class="size" style="font-size:11pt">We have made it very clear that the polls should not be considered votes and I fear that showing affiliation would make it seem more like a vote,
