I support Brents suggestions completely with the addition of a more
managed (i.e org_team agrees on the contents of the poll prior to) use
of the poll/voting system (complete with web based user authentication)
as a form of "market research" to assist us in determining the views of
the LUG prior to an real_issue vote. This information is the input of
those who for what ever reason are not motivated to join the org_list,
BUT do have an opinion.

I move we adopt Brent's suggestion, plus Jethro's suggestion number 1.

who'll second me?
