Re: [ga] DNSO General Assembly call to change seating rule

[vze25hmr@mail.verizon.net]

My suggestion: Ask for a consensus.  Simply post the letter in question,
and ask, is there a consensus for or agianst the draft. It seems simple
enough for me, include a time restriction 3,4,7 whatever days.    Then
add to the letter with the number of yes' vs no's -

if more yes' it moves forward, if more no's it doesn't.

If the draft moves forward to help clear the what constitutes a consensus
question - include the number of  yes' and no's that were given in any
document that is written.
Thus letting the people that read the document to decide for themselves
what the consensus is.

George Kougias

ps not stating for or agianst here officially, but am leaning toward, not
yet decided myself.
