Re: [ga] Formulating Consensus ??

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Thank you Patrick,

Here is a quote from that URL;
"Additionally, the values and principles which form the basis of commitment
 to work together to resolve conflict need to be clearly defined, and accepted
by all involved."

And here is a quote from our creation;
"The GA shall be an open forum for participation in the work of the DNSO,
    and open to all who are willing to contribute effort to the work of the
    DNSO."

And so I ask;

What are the values and principles which form the basis of commitment here?
Certainly they are not clearly defined not accepted by all involved.

I just worked through some issues with a member, when I actually agreed with him

and directly quoted him for a proposal he negatively asserted that I was "flip
flopping".
Now clearly we had different values and principles.

Here is another partial quote;
"and participation in research and drafting committees and working groups."

I think we should have a standing drafting committee to put proposals together
for consensus.
I would call it a GA council.

Sincerely,
Eric
