I was hoping to close this poll hours ago, but we only have three members
of RCom participating (thanks Yaroslav and Steven!).
It is absolutely crucial that if we end up technically approving this study
methodology that such approval actually reflects the consensus of RCom
members.
For your benefit, I'll summarize the proposed plan:
A request to participate in a *survey* about enforcing conformance with
community/group outcomes *needs 200-300 responses* from general Wikipedia
editors. Invitations to take the survey will be posted an editors'
User_talk pages. *A pilot set of 15 requests will be posted
immediately*following approval from RCom to test for problems and
determine the
expected response rate. Afterwards, *up to 500 User_talk postings* will be
made (depending on response rate) to illicit enough responses to give
statistical confidence.
This is the first proposed project of this scale that we are reviewing for
approval so I really want to make sure we are doing it right.

Hey folks,
This proposal is an important milestone for our subject recruitment
processes, since it represents the first mass recruitment request (200-300
responses needed). I'm hoping to either show a high level of support with
this poll or discover what problems still need to be dealt with.
I'd like to close the poll by *Wednesday @ noon UTC*. Please make sure
to chime in.
