I remember the discussion in Marina Del Rey, which is why I brought it up.
I may be missing something, but I haven't seen this addressed by the NC at
all. As I recall, an interim solution was suggested, that the NC simply
pass a resolution declaring their intent to appoint an elected candidate.
Apparently there has been no discussion of this either, and it doesn't
appear to be on the current NC agenda.

Or worse.

I would conclude that the GA is ill-defined, has no mandate to do anything,
and that the NC has neglected it's duties to "manage the consensus-building
process" in regards to the GA specifically.
