<div class="PlainText">I find the poll options very confusing. Are we asking whether we<br>
*want* the F2F? Or are we asking whether we'd participate *if* there's<br>
a F2F?<br>
<br>
>From the choices:<br>
<br>
"I plan to participate in a full-day WG F2F meeting in person" - Yes/No<br>
<br>
"I plan to participate in a full-day WG F2F meeting remotely" - Yes/No<br>
<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
it seems to not capture what appears to be the intent of the poll,<br>
namely finding out whether we want a F2F in the first place. My<br>
preferences might be "No, I don't want one, but yes, I'll participate<br>
if there is one" --- how should I vote?!?!?!<br>
<br>
A simpler poll might be a single question (instead of 5 questions):<br>
<br>
1. Do you want to have a F2F?<br>
<br>
(a) Yes, full day<br>
(b) Yes, half day<br>
(c) No.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
