Re: Interop Ballot [REALLY A STRAW POLL]- update please read

Agreed just a straw poll here not a
formal ballot - just trying to use the tool to help make progress !!  I
'll check to make sure the system doesn't help track more than we want
it to but my recollection from the Kavi training session I attended in
Baltimore back in December is that system will not automatically mess with
people's voting status nor will it send out warnings automatically. Steve
(Anderson) maybe you can follow up on this for us to make sure that remains
true ?

Guys, this is identified as a "straw poll" and
is therefore not a ballot in the keep-your-voting-membership sense.

My understanding is if you vote to abstain on a ballot it is still counted as voting for membership X% purposes.(Just as long as you don’t neglect to even click on a button at all.)Correct?

Thanks,

This introduces the following problem, membership requires us to participate in X% of all ballots so people who not vote ....

I suggest we have a two stage vote process, each company gets one vote in the final ballot stage, the first stage is to determine which way a company votes based on its inputs.
Companies which vote different ways may have an image problem....

One of our members just pointed out to me that I probably should have asked that folks from the same company coordinate and have only one of them vote on the interop time frame preference . The Kavi system as far as I can tell is not setup to allow for "one vote per company" votes - and this makes sense given the OASIS process where all TC members get a vote. However, it would be great if folks from the same company could agree amongst themselves what their preference is and elect one person to vote on their behalf.

I hope you are all able to access the ballot!!
