    Optional. This is recorded with the vote count, not against your name.

Why these questions

Every item is a motion, and every motion offers Abstain, because at a board an abstention is a recorded position rather than a missing answer. Each member votes once and needs a code to do it, so the tally is a tally of members and not of browser tabs. Results stay sealed until the vote closes and there is no public results page, since a board vote belongs in the minutes rather than at a URL. Check your quorum before you open it: what you get back is the count of votes cast, not of members eligible.

Results unlock at 3 responses

Nobody sees any answers to this poll, you included, until 3 people have responded. Below that, an individual answer could be traced back to the person who wrote it, so the results stay sealed. Worth knowing before you send it to a team of two.
