</span>I didn't intend to suggest that they'd stated that in writing, but<br>
rather to suggest that the GAC had consensus around the 2/3 number.<br>
But this'll teach me to go from memory, because I was relying on my<br>
recollection of the Dublin communiqé. In fact it does not exactly say<br>
that the GAC has consensus about the 2/3 threshold, so I'm wrong.<br>
<br>
I still believe that the compromise position is an effective way<br>
forward that actually gives no additional real power to the GAC<br>
(because of the new Empowered Community) while yet granting the 2/3<br>
number that many seem to think is important. But the claim in favour<br>
of 2/3 is indeed weaker given the GAC's stated positions.<br>
