Comment (by dougmill):<br>
<br>
Since we have not been able to discuss this in a meeting, I've setup a<br>
Straw Vote to decide if we should carry forward this proposal.<br>
<br>
Please review the latest attachment (mpi3-ticket217-ei-2.pdf) and vote<br>
accordingly. Especially if you vote "No", please post why you object or<br>
what it is you object to. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Note, you will need to login to the wiki before you can see, or cast,<br>
votes.<br>
<br>
[[Poll(Should the "Teams" (Helper Threads) proposal be carried forward to<br>
a Forum reading and vote?; Yes; No)]]<br>
<br>
Also, please take a look at the "alternate" proposal that makes the JOIN<br>
team size dynamic, and give a quick Yes/No on that as well.<br>
<br>
[[Poll(Is the dynamic team size proposal worth considering?; Yes; No)]]<br>
