Polls are a suggestion in lieu of something better. Communications is the problem, so have everyone who is not happy with the changes write a short note or a long letter to the IBO office and make their feelings known.
Knowing the problem (as perceived by some) is something that many have heard, but making a workable solution is what is lacking.
Your post is on the money and reasonable and that is the attitude that will get much more done than many of the other people who can only bad mouth the organization. IMHO
