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

All,

I am occupied by family obligations today, so I'm unable to respond fully,
though I have been monitoring the list.

With regard to the discussion of consensus and the term "minority," I
believe this could be resolved if everyone simply looked at the relevant
section of then Charter.  Sorry I'm not in a place where I can easily cut
and paste.

Greg
