RE: [gnso-consensus-wg] BC input

["Nevett, Jonathon" <jnevett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have concerns with the principles in Philip's/Bertrand's summary.  For
example, the no veto principle is not accurate not only for
supermajority approval of a PDP, but also removal of a NonCom Rep.

I think that we should go with the way I have it and remove anything
that folks don't feel are "neutral" per Philip's note.

Thanks.

Jon

Note that Bertrand's summary didn't include Milton's addtion, which I
think we should all respond to.
