[Baypiggies] BayPIGgies name [was: April agenda?]

Marilyn,

I could add a name option to the survey but this is such a hot-button topic
that might be unwise, and the survey is quite long.
I can always create a separate survey "BayPIGgies name poll" at no extra 
charge,
With just your 2 questions.
A 2-question poll would probably get higher response rate, too.

SVPy was suggested.

>Should we add: BayPIG
Probably no point.

Yes. I want to get it live by 4/9 and get some initial feedback by 4/13 
meeting
where I want to encourage people and explain what the intent of running it 
is.
Also will have paper copies for people who don't want to fill it out online 
or email.
SurveyMonkey charges me a $20 monthly fee and I want it complete by 4/30
so I can tabulate by 5/7 for the meeting. So there are multiple constraints.
