Sounds like a workable idea.  We really need more "straw votes".

to all:

I suggest that the straw poll first, followed by discussion, then another
straw poll, prior to deadline, say, complete by March 26th, would allow for
whatever consensus regaqrding "status quo"  or "new deal". That would alloow
a few days for writing position papers from all constituencies, and delivery
to NC and BoD.

The only way to accurately collect their opinions is for them to post
them here.
