[gnso-igo-ingo] Additional information on the consensus call!

[Thomas Rickert <rickert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
 
as you know, I previously provided a response to some questions that have 
arisen with respect to the consensus call and how to respond to it.  In my 
response, I said that all WG members are encouraged, but not obliged to respond 
to all recommendations in the document. 
 
However, let me reiterate that I STRONGLY encourage ALL members to respond to 
ALL recommendations as you consider the options with your respective groups, 
i.e. the recommendations on the table concerning all four categories of 
organizations (IOC, RCRC, IGOs and INGOs). 
 
Some of you may note that I have never used capital letters so extensively when 
addressing you before. :-) 
Nonetheless, I am doing so on this occasion to direct your attention to the 
fact that the purpose of the consensus call is to reflect the spectrum of WG 
member views with respect to all draft recommendations. If you limit your 
feedback to a subset of the draft recommendations and if others do the same, 
this might shed a completely different light on the consensus level inside the 
group. 
 
The same effect might occur if you do not respond to the recommendations one by 
one and instead consider this a "package deal" by giving only one answer to all 
of the recommendations. 
 
We have designed the consensus call to allow for feedback with a great deal of 
granularity. Let's avail ourselves to these options!

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Thomas
