5 votes for the rssboard.org namespace
(Ryan,Randy,Sterling,Rogers,Simone)
1 vote for the userland.com namespace (James)
4 abstains (Eric,Jenny,Jason,Jake)
1 didn't vote (Paul)

We'll move forward with the http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification
namespace, but remember that this doesn't change anything and nobody
should be using this namespace until we write and adopt language in
the RSS spec, which may never happen.
Thanks,

Randy

or to vote to abstain in the next 7 days.
