Hey Patrick, we might not get good data from that poll.

It ranks everyone's first/preferred choice, but doesn't help us see
other availability. For example, I just voted for the current time
slot because I couldn't be sure that if I voted for another slot that
it would line up with others (my vote would get lost in a seal of
other disparate votes).

There are also other days that might be better, but I couldn't vote
for those because I was only allowed to pick one day and one time. So,
to avoid getting a broad distribution without any particular winner, I
just ended up voting for the same time (which is what I'd expect most
others to do given the game theory of the poll)... which will result
in no change in time and no way to know if there could have been a
change in time.

You might take a look at the poll Elaine sent out wrt. meeting times,
which is the sort of poll that will get the sort of data we need to
make a well informed decision on meeting times. It allows choices
across multiple days and multiple times.

The only danger w/ Elaine's poll is accidentally not including
critical people from APAC or EU. People that sit outside the most
popular time zones might get overlooked, and if they're critical to
the work, that would be very bad indeed. That said, these polls are
just input data for the TF to make an informed decision, and we'd
probably veto times that have people that really want to participate.
