That is perhaps 10% of the IGF list population.

In a self-selection poll I think the most significant discovery about this poll is how few of us took part.
And I think it is a fact that should have been noted in the discussion.

As for myself, i got to questions i could not answer, e.g. what regional IGF am I part of, and never completed the poll.  That is often a problem with untested polls, the questions being asked don't often work and leave a poll taker confused about what to answer.

I think polling can be a very valid opinion gathering technique, but i think that quickie polls that aren't tested and receive little participation are marginal in their utility.
