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

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.
