Writing Polls - cplusplus/LEWG GitHub Wiki
Polls Should Be Statements
Polls should be formulated as statements which participants are asked to either approve or disapprove, not question.
Don't write:
POLL: Is C++ great?
Instead write
POLL: C++ is great.
Polls Should Change Status Quo
A poll should be worded as a change from the status quo.
Don't write:
POLL: Keep
auto_ptr
in C++17.
Instead write:
POLL: Remove
auto_ptr
in C++17.
The C++ International Standard sets status quo. C++ Technical Specifications set status quo, albeit a weaker one. Aspects of a proposal that have been previously decided on by a group are status quo. Aspects of a proposal that have not been previously decided on by a group are NOT status quo.
