OK, agree that we should prefer fun and be inclusive for this one. That
leaves:

* Public CIVS poll with link sent on OpenStack ML
One vote per IP might bite corporate firewalls

* SurveyMonkey with link sent on OpenStack ML
Pretty neutral option

* Vote to the Foundation membership
Direct email makes it "less fun", also more work to implement

At this point I think the closest to what we ran in the past and the
less effort would be the SurveyMonkey option. It lets you rank the
choices so we don't have to trim the list of candidates that much.
