    We all agreed at the meeting during conversations on providing a
    window of opportunity for those not present at a decision to have a
    period of time to consider decisions.  This is not meant to replace
    a quorum, but it is what was discussed and agreed at the meeting of
    the entire ICG, so it needs to be in the document.<br>

                                  <div>Dear All ..<br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    As one of those who have attended
                                    the 'consensus building' discussion<br>
                                    during the coffee break after the
                                    meeting, allow me to clarify that
                                    more<br>
                                    than 10 ICG members joined the
                                    discussion and almost everyone
                                    agreed<br>
                                    that:<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Utmost efforts should be
                                    exerted to reach consensus ..<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Not reaching consensus
                                    would weaken the proposal submitted
                                    to<br>
                                    the NTIA<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          A situation where one
                                    person can block the whole process<br>
                                    should be avoided<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Minority views, no matter
                                    how few, should be evaluated<br>
                                    qualitatively (based on the merit of
                                    the objections) not quantitatively<br>
                                    (based on the number of objections)<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Consensus here refers to
                                    decisions related to the handling<br>
                                    and assembling of submitted
                                    proposals not decisions related to<br>
                                    approval/disapproval of content of
                                    the proposals (which if needed may<br>
                                    then be referred back to the
                                    relevant communities)<br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    ICG members who were present agreed
                                    in principle on the proposal<br>
                                    suggested by Mr Arasteh, which
                                    basically:<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Stresses the need for
                                    reaching consensus<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Delete the controversial
                                    minority/quorum part of the text<br>
                                    from this part<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          Defer decision on how to
                                    handle the unlikely situation of not<br>
                                    being able to reach a consensus way
                                    forward, to be decided upon on a<br>
                                    case by case basis<br>
                                    <br>
                                    -          List examples of
                                    alternative means that ICG may
                                    choose to<br>
                                    follow .. this includes the text on
                                    minority as well as the IETF<br>
                                  </div>
                                </div>
                                document, circulated by Jari, that
                                describes the rough consensus<br>
                                <span>process, particularly how to deal
                                  with different opinions<br>
                                  <br>
                                  <br>
                                  <br>
                                  So apologies to those who were not in
                                  the room and did not have the<br>
                                  chance to attend ..<br>
                                  <br>
                                  Hope this summary, subject to
                                  corrections or additions by other
                                  present<br>

                                  <br>
                                  Thanks to Mr Arasteh for the suggested
                                  text and to all ICG members who<br>
                                </span>were present for the constructive

                                    <br>
                                    Kindly make it easier for us to
                                    follow the trend of discussions with<br>
                                    correct documents. I was about to
                                    congratulate the Group of 11 (G11)
                                    and<br>
                                    all ICG members when Alice's mail
                                    came in with the old version of the<br>
                                    document. It is a bit confusing.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    I think we have progressed
                                    positively with the G11's version
                                    and<br>
                                    formulations, please let us not go
                                    back to the old version, reason
                                    being<br>
                                    that ICG members are errand boys of
                                    the communities. The power to object<br>
                                    regarding  any part of the proposal
                                    to NTIA is with each of the<br>
                                    communities.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    In addition, the version looks
                                    balanced, what is left will be to do
                                    the<br>
                                    minor edits and remove some
                                    redundant words and paragraphs like:<br>

                                    Kindly make it easier for us to
                                    follow. I was about to congratulate
                                    the<br>
                                    Group of 11 (G11) and all ICG
                                    members when Alice's mail came in
                                    with the<br>
                                    old version.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    I think we have progressed
                                    positively with the G11's  version,
                                    please<br>
                                    let us not go back to the old
                                    version, reason being that ICG
                                    members are<br>
                                    errand boys of the communities. The
                                    power to object regarding  any part<br>
                                    of the proposal to NTIA is with each
                                    communities.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    <br>
                                    In addition, the version looks
                                    balanced, what is left will be to do
                                    the<br>
                                    minor edits and remove some
                                    redundant words like:<br>
