Re: [ga] Re: Consensus... Definition?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Danny and all assembly members,

  Of course the ICANN BoD's and staff's intent is to use "Consensus" or at least
their moving target as to what "Consensus" is as a diversionary tactic!  My
heavens,
many of us here, as Roeland rightly indicated in his post on this thread
indicated,
have known this for over 2+ yrs now Danny!  I am surprised that you are just
now coming around to understanding this.  As Chair, I find this recent
revelation of yours here to be terribly and tragically surprising...
