This is a question that went into the public comment and received mixed feedback. Hence, I feel that the designations should note that there is not full consensus (or consensus) on the absence of any recommendation in this regard.

The overall consensus level of topic 17 is already Consensus, not Full Consensus. So any appointment of something lacking in topic 17 would need much more opposition to be downgraded to "Strong Support", so perhaps it's more the lack of mention you are questioning ?

At least from my side, we have noted certainly a dismay at not being able to find a consensus solution. And we certainly disagree with not having a substantive recommendation – hence, I guess that “full consensus” is not entirely apposite, i.e. it makes limited sense to have this designation regarding a “non-agreement”…

Even your comment agrees that we haven't reached an agreement. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a dismay of not being able to find a solution... so full consensus is supported by many designations, including yours.

We have also attached a copy of a spreadsheet with all of the Consensus Call Responses filed by members of the Working Group. As a reminder, Section 3.6 of the GNSO Working Group Guidelines <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-24oct19-en.pdf> provides the applicable methodology for the Chairs for Making Decisions.

More specifically, 26 topics received Full Consensus, 14 received Consensus and 1 received a designation of Strong Support but Significant Opposition.  Within each of the topics that received either Consensus or Strong Support but Significant Opposition, the table sets forth those outputs which the topic that achieved Consensus or Full Consensus. For example, in Topic 2, the overall designation for the Topic is “Consensus.”  That said, Outputs 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 actually had “Full Consensus”, but Output 2.3 had Consensus.

Please remember that you have until 13 January 2021 at 23:59 UTC to challenge any of these designations, and until 18 January 2021 at 23:59 UTC to file any Minority Reports or other statements.  In full disclosure, some members have asked whether they could file statements of support and leadership can see no reason to not include links to those statements (like the minority reports) in the Final Report.
