Mary:

I don't think the intent of the poll is to make a decision but more to 
get a sense of the members when it may not be clear from postings 
(recall that not all members may have shared opinions and with multiple 
drafts of language the current status of opinion may not be clear) ...  
Perhaps we could clarify language in that direction to address your 
concerns?
