Well, I thought I'd try something daring. We have people

If the toy doesn't work, don't blame me... I just found the

As this is the tools discussion after all, might it maybe be a good tool
to have a voting tool for the IETF?
"We reject kings, presidents, and voting..."
This isn't 100% true, of course; there are a very few specific cases
where "voting" is used to make a decision. They tend to be somewhat
specialized (for example, the system the IESG uses to decide whether to
approve documents) and have specially-designed tools.
I don't think a general-purpose voting tool is needed or appropriate.
But we *often* take straw polls in f2f meetings, and that's very hard
to do by email.
