It should also be noted that the only ones to object to the iaTLD position on
RFC1591 were those with a formal relationship with their governments.  Nearly
100 of them have publicly supported it and only about 5-8 have firmly objected
to it. 

That looks like a much closer "consensus" claim than DNSO.org can claim among
Domain Name Stakeholders, by a long shot.
