Hi,<br>
<br>
In ICANN, we do have modifiers before Consensus. And varying
definitions depending on which of the SOAC or processes we are
talking about.<br>
<br>
In GNSO PDP processes we talk about Full Consensus versus Consensus
and that definiton of Consensus is not all that diffferent from the
IETF defintion of rough consensus; though we often use polls instead
of humming to help figure out how to continue the discussion toward
consensus.<br>
<br>
The GNSO definition is different from the GAC deffintion which I
wont presume to define.<br>
<br>
And in defining ICANN Consensus Policy, we have yet another
definition which often depends on voting thresholds.<br>
<br>
Personally I find it hard to talk about Consensus in ICANN without
using modifiers of some sort. <br>
<br>
As for an ICG definition of Consensus, that is beyond my pay grade
to try and fathom.<br>

<div>Just thinking aloud on the substance pointer raised -
can multistakholder model be evolved in a manner that
ensures proportional representation in communities,
forums, structures and Board. When I say proportional, I
mean proportional to Internet population of the country.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Valerie D'Costa, an advisor to the
CCWG, raised a couple of interesting and
important questions on process and substance. I
hope this is a faithful reproduction.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On process:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. What should be the role of advisors?
Should they offer advice on the basis of
unanimity or "rough consensus", or just
provide input independently? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Should advisors restrict their role to
responding to questions that have been flagged
by the CCWG and routed through the chairs? Or
should they/ can they flag issues they feel
are important - weighed from their expertise. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On substance:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. How is the accountability process taking
stock of the evolving "global internet
community", given that it is going to be
driven by numbers from the developing world? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Taking off from Q1, is the CCWG
evaluating the future capacity of ICANN to be
truly representative in the years to come?</div>
