[Ws2-jurisdiction] RES: Question Presented (Greg Shatan)

Hi, 

My concern is that the minority may be large enough to deny group
consensus.  I am not sure there is overwhelming consensus, especially
when you count those of us that are somewhere in the middle.

Also in any form of ICANN or rough consensus, it is important that no
minority feel its position has not been heard, understood and fully
considered.

Greg is appropriately trying to call consensus, and, I think also
appropriately, those who feel they have not been heard, understood and
considered feel we are not there yet.

Reading the degree of misunderstanding there still seems to b eabout the
various position of others, I tend to also agree we have not yet reached
any sort of ICANN or rough consensus.
