"undecided" sounds good to me. It should be clear to non-native  
speakers of English (at least, clearer than "dunno").

<personal opinion>
   Another problem with "dunno" is that it might come across as a bit  
unprofessional due to its informality. Yes, you'll find it in most  
dictionaries, but always with a qualifier of "slang", "colloquial",  
"casual", "pronunciation spelling" or similar.
