Re: Vote for Preferred Timeslot – VC API for Lifecycle Management TF

Hi Manu,

That makes sense regarding the poll structure. I can look into setting up a
multi-choice poll similar to Elaine's and circulate it. However we've only
had 5 responses so far with 80% voting for Tuesday / 3pm.

Best,
Patrick
