Re: [802SEC] Jon's Straw Poll Request

Hi Andrew,

Sorry but your conclusion is incorrect.  The question did not ask an opinion on when people desired the next meeting, nor when they thought that they would be able to attend a face to face meeting. It asked an opinion on "expectation" of when there would BE the first face to face meeting.  That doesn't mean a respondent would not attend a meeting earlier, but that they don't expect that there will be one. 

It isn't valid to conclude anything beyond the question asked.  For example, in another WG we asked a second question, to give an opinion the earliest date that the respondent thought you WOULD attend a face to face meeting.  The results were different, as the question is different.  The second question is a more useful basis for speculation upon when people might attend.  

I also note that the "no answer" was the most popular option. Does that mean that we should not hold the next meeting ever, as the majority don't know when it will occur?  Of course not.

No valid conclusions can be reached from the straw poll as worded. 

FWIW we might as well be accurate.

G’day all

 

I plotted all the data, see attached Excel

 

It suggests the next meeting (based on current opinions) should not be held until Sept/Nov 2021
