[yul-naco] Poll: RLG's Authority Assistant

[Manon Theroux]

Thanks to all who responded to this survey, whether privately or to the list.

The tally: 9 people are using RLG's Authority Assistant at least sometimes; 
18 people have never used it. Some people did not respond, probably because 
they are not currently creating NACO records.

RLG has told us that the Authority Assistant might not be available on Day 
1 of doing NACO input in RLIN21, so be forewarned.

Some people expressed interest in learning more about the Authority 
Assistant and how it works, so we will have some kind of a demo/training 
session in the future (after we move to RLIN21).
