I like the general approach, especially the fact that we
distinguish inquiries from mere "polls".

If the two steps above can be easily done, why not.
Another way would be to have *someone* in charge of collecting and
editing the various feedback. The role of this person could be
extended to providing summaries when asked for, and making sure
that the discussion does not stall.
Even when a fully automated feedback collection, having someone
helping with concluding the inquiry would help IMHO.
