Poll to determine polling methods

tracilicious · 08-15-2006, 05:01 PM

Ok, since we need to decide on a way to decide on a book here's a poll. Can this be a short poll? Shall we close in two days?

I took too long adding the poll and now it won't let me. Will a mod add the poll for me?

The selections I was going to put are:

1. If more than ten selections, each person picks top five...Alex does math.
2. Each active member chooses a book for the month on a rotating basis.
3. Limit nominations to one per person per month.

Done!

I think I'd feel more comfortable if we could first take an opinion poll on forming a task group to research the issue and report their findings to a blue ribbon panel who will then present the best options to the group for a vote.

I'm going to throw up now.

Don't throw up in front of me. I can't see anyone throw up without hurling myself.

And yes, it probably is a bit ridiculous to have a poll, but I thought that if we could just decide this once and for all then we won't have to have the same discussion every month about how we are going to decide. A stitch in time and all...

Thanks to Traci for setting up the poll. "I am not a committee!"

Isn't that we effectively just did in the preceeding thread?

I picked the 5- book method, but really, I'd only want to rank my top 3 books, my opinions don't get that much granular.

But there was no blue ribbon panel! That's the most important part!
