Ah, so it's not going to be the Sue Gardner office hours, it's going to be the Pending Changes office hours. Well, I suppose that makes sense.
One very large part of the disconnect, I will note, is that a very significant proportion of the editors who voted to stop the trial on the second poll are the people who were actually involved in the trial, either as reviewers, administrators, or editors who regularly watched articles that were involved in the trial. A near majority of the editors who supported continuation and expansion were not involved in the trial in any significant way. ALL of them were told they were voting for another trial, with the tool left on in the interim, not for permanent installation. And even with it just being put forward as a second trial, the support for continuing dropped 10% in two weeks.
You're losing the hearts and minds battle here, guys.

Hi Risker,
I think Erik has already covered a lot of ground in this thread, but additionally, I'll point out that many of us were already planning to be present talk about Pending Changes at the IRC office hour that Philippe announced below, so that would seem a great time to cover the disconnect here.
