Question 1 of 6

Motion 1: that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved.

A local preview. What you pick stays on this page and is never sent.

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 first show at 8 responses

Nobody sees any answers to this poll, you included, until 8 people have responded: the minimum group of 5, plus a few answers that are held back while the survey is open. Below that, an individual answer could be traced back to the person who wrote it, so the results stay sealed. Once it closes with the minimum group in, everything shows. Worth knowing before you send it to a team of two.
