I think there's something else going on. We routinely get in-depth  
discussion of some issues on PPML, but usually from a small group of  
active participants. We then have hundreds of attendees at the public  
policy meetings, where another group of active participants does most  
of the talking at the mic. But then, when we have a vote, most of the  
silent attendees express their opinion, based on the arguments  
presented.

Perhaps we should make more use of online polling mechanisms to  
accomplish something similar on PPML. Or perhaps the current system  
works well enough.

Thoughts?
