Hi,
Possibly a poll could be useful, though I am generally not in favor of
polls.
And I should have said a consensus call of members, not a vote.
(I am sure there are some differences.)
My point is at some point we need to figure out whether we are split
along external/internal lines close to 50/50 or whether there is a
consensus. I can't tell. To me it seems we are stably split.
If that is the case, I think sending the IGC a decision that says we
could not make up our minds, might not work so well.
