Re: Straw Poll - approaches to aria-roledescription

My understanding from the teleconference was that this would be a Call 
for Consensus. We decided to use the Web-Based Survey (WBS) mechanism 
because there were two different options we wanted to test consensus on, 
so in that respect it's like a poll, but it's intended to be a CfC in 
that the option in the survey that gets the most support will be 
recorded as the decision. As Janina said, straw polls also can be 
conducted using the WBS mechanism, but WBS is just a tool for various 
kinds of surveys. In this case we decided to use it for CfC / vote.

If this interpretation is correct, I suggest resending with CfC in the 
subject line just to be absolutely sure people know this is a consensus 
call even though it uses the WBS mechanism.
