Not the same thing.

It is more like Person 1 saying "I prefer not to go to ZYX Pizzeria,
because they put too much cheese on their pizza, would everyone else
like to go to CBA Pizzeria instead?"

And everyone else says "Yes."

Do you assume they all agree that ZYX Pizzeria puts too much cheese on
their pizza?

No.

The bottom line is that one board member, ONE, expressed a reason for
not granting .web to Afilias.  Others voted that they preferred giving
.info over .web, and did not express a reason for their vote.

That is the historical fact.

Can we end this now?
