This is a wrong reading of what is a consensus. Consensus relates to a
whole set of recs, and the whole report, not parts of it. One may not
otherwise disagree, for instance, with a particular motherhood and apple
pie statement (they are meant not be disagreed with), but disagree with
it constituting the whole of recs or the report of a group. That would
still be an absence of consensus for that statement to be the rec of
that group.  (Those who are involved with the Working Group on Enhanced
Cooperation will know how its final stages to develop a report suffers
from a similar dilemma.)

 A report is as significant in terms of what it does not say as what it
says...... If there is no consensus on changing the status quo, there
isnt one on keeping it either. And the dissonance is so very significant
that some members would want to dissociate from some weak formulations
that have been compiled as agreed outcomes of the group, which simply do
not address key issues of the mandate given to the group.

Let me try to explain it another way. Lets say that there has been a
great humanitarian crisis owing to human/ political reasons and a
committee is formed to report on its facts and the required action by
the world community. If some members try to develop a report that
greatly under-reports the nature and extent of the calamity (as is done
in this jurisdiction sub group's report regarding facts of the many very
significant problems about continued US jurisdiction over a key global
governance function) and comes up with some very weak mitigating
measures, like saying that for the next many weeks free water supplies
should to maintained for the whole area, others members may dissent with
that report, without necessarily being against the "water supply"
part.... They are apt to disassociate from and condemn the whole report,
doing which would certainly be a meaningful exercise, in putting
emphasis on what the committee was abdicating from rather than what it
was recommending. Similar is the situation with our dissent notes with
respect to the jurisdiction sub-group's report..
