I've been real hesitant about this thread, because I honestly believe
that consensus cannot be "ruled" into existence.

But provided these "guidelines" are developed as a "best practices"
setup, rather than a hard and fast rule, and they are clearly marked
at that (presumably with this being at the discretion of the Chair),
then I support this effort and will gladly contribute to it.

Are we on the same page, Joanna?
