Well, the threads "The Number 1 Problem" and "Confusion between Majority 
vote and consensus" are a start in that area, with over 20 people posting 
on-topic on those topics, so far. Oddly enough, it's one of the few areas 
we've actually had good dialogue in.

One of the things we've been discovering is that "consensus" doesn't really 
mean "consensus as it is normally understood" in the DNSO and ICANN 
structure, so what started out as a discussion about how to improve the 
process has detoured a little into "what formal consensus is and how it works".
