Peter and all assembly members,

  If by the term "Consensus" on these matters regarding TLD's
that are already running on some number of ISP's I would have to
say given the off the cuff number of ISP's you mention, that some form
of "Consensus" is already determined.

  On the other hand in order to determine if a "Real Consensus" is
so, we the stakeholders need to have a VOTE to determine that
"Real Consensus" is met.
