I do not know whether Icann has a documented definition of consensus other than that ? Maybe there is within the gNSO for PDP purposes ?

the proposal submitted for comment by the Co-chairs and the wording “consensus support” (marked in yellow). What would “consensus support from the community” entail in this situation? For example, would it mean that a proposal would be taken off the table
if only one person/stakeholder group/AC-SO etc. from the community (also a term that is currently discussed) would be against it?

that would further enhance Icann's accountability would be implemented if it had consensus support from the community, even if it were to encounter Icann management resistance or if it were against the interest of Icann as a corporate entity.

<p class="MsoNormal">As Co-chairs, we have attempted to summarize the various inputs expressed on the list as well as during the calls on the matter. Below is a recap, including a proposal for discussion, inspired by the WA2 proposal, and which, in our opinion,
would be a good candidate to move forward. <br>
<br>
This is for you review at this stage before we discuss it tomorrow during the weekly call. Comments or alternate will be welcome during the call or later on this thread.
<br>
<br>
I'd like to once again thank Steve del Bianco and the WA2 team for their essential contribution to this key piece of our work.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As a result, I think that part of what we should be doing in the long run is focusing on the core/critical 3-5 items that are absolutely essential to ensuring accountability. In short, I think
there is actually a sub-category of WS1 (call it <b>WS0</b> for want of a better term) that would be fundamental red-lines for the community. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Comment from Becky Burr :<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Understands the community to say there were certain basic accountability mechanisms that would enable them to feel comfortable with the IANA transition, these may not be directly related to
the transition itself. What we need from WS1 is the community feels comfortable that tools are in place to continue the work to create real and meaningful accountability. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">-----------------------------------<br>
Proposal submitted for comments (to be presented and initially discussed during tomorrow's call):
<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">WS1 mechanisms are those that, when in place or committed to, would provide the community with confidence that any accountability mechanism that would further enhance Icann's accountability
would be implemented if it had consensus support from the community, even if it were to encounter Icann management resistance or if it were against the interest of Icann as a corporate entity. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
