    Hi,<br>

    <br>

    I don't exactly know where this concern fits, but I have become

    concerned about all the increased reliance on vote based

    mechanisms.  One of the essential elements of the multistakeholder

    model is the development of broad (not full) consensus.  It seems

    that more and more of our solutions require some form of voting.<br>

    <br>

    Are we at risk of losing the multistakeholder model while developing

    member based, which is implicitly vote based, mechanisms.<br>
