I would like to know how the TalkBoard candidates will seek input from the membership at large whom they're seeking to represent.
A nice, simple approach in my opinion is to make use of the poll features built into the bulletin board software. Motions being discussed could be shared with FTers and a simple straw poll conducted. This not only would seek input, but encourage participation from regular FTers and stimulate more interest in TB. At the same time, it provides the TB members with more details about how FT members feel about an issue.
