Re: [gnso-idng] reporting back to the council

hi,

I would not feel we had consensus on this.

This was just a Drafting team, and we never even came to agreement on a charter 
for a working group let alone a policy change to the DAG.  This group 
essentially stalled because there was no consensus among the few people 
participating.

While there might be agreement on their being a possible problem, there was no 
agreement on what to do about it, or even on whether anything should be done 
about it.
