As promised, here is the poll for the security discussion. As a reminder, the purpose of this poll is mainly to see where people’s attitudes are with respect to the various options, so that we can move the discussion forward towards a conclusion. If you have any interested at all in the outcome, please make your voice heard.
The poll will not be secret. You may fill out the poll anonymously, but if you do, your vote will be given less weight (to avoid ballot stuffing). We don’t necessarily plan on publishing the individual poll responses, but we may do so if we think it would be helpful.
Because of the summer holidays, we will keep the poll open for two weeks; we will tabulate the results Monday, August 20.
The poll can be found here:
