I think Avri's responses to Richard Hill are quite helpful.  Also I think she made a couple of useful suggestions: 1) " cut the difference between consensus process and determining consensus as in making the consensus call"; 2) " move this to the CWG list now that it has been setup ".

Hi,

I was just going to suggest this.

I also just wrote a reponse to Ruchard's message in ICG Froum.
http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00011.html

http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00012.html

Though Richard did not accept my answer.

http://forum.icann.org/lists/icg-forum/msg00013.html

I do recommend the change in any case.

If somewhat we can cut the difference between consensus process and determining consensus as in making the consensus call, that might help too.

avri

ps. should we move this to the CWG list now that it has been setup?
