Kristjansander (and/or others?) Unless I have missed it described or explained somewhere, can you please answer the following questions:
1.) Who wrote up the questions for the poll?
2.) How was it determined that the questions would be posed in the way they were written?
3.) How will the poll results will be interpreted / used / applied? (And are there certain already-existing written rules that will determine that? If so, exactly who wrote them, where are they, and when were they written?)
4.) Is there a minimum of respondents needed to make such a poll "count"?
5.) If, as another example, only 50 of over 400 members vote, how will the results be determined? Will it take a majority (over 50 percent of respondents voting for one of the 5 possible answers) to affect some type of change? Would/will the answer that receives the most vote be the deciding factor?
6.) Would/will there be any appeals?
7.) If so, what is the process?
8.) Will any near and distant future decisions be made by one in "authority"? If so, how was that authority assigned? Who assigned that authority?
9.) What type of "ruling" or decision-making process exists? (That is, what kind of governance exists with respect to this ebay chess collectors group?)
I am sure I could come up with some more questions, but at least for now, please let me end right here!
Thank you, Kristjansander, for all of the work you do and have done with respect to this ebay chess collectors group.
John, Vermont.
