That's good, as it ensures that only people who will be the most
affected by the lug, will have a say.

Idea:

1) We could you the electronic voting to do a 'pre' vote, which gets the
public opinion to the org list. 

2) Then at the meeting, say '78% of people on the poll agreed to option
x. Do you wish to use option x or option y, which had 25%? Comments?'

3) Then do a meeting hand count.

The benfits are that ideas that no one wants are revealed, and the most
popular ideas are shown. It's also secure, as the final decision is at
the meeting, the poll just gets what people feel, which saves our time,
by getting the ideas into the open, and lets people think about them.

What do you think?
