Holly may be right in English but Avri is my authority on Icannese!

Hi,
In defense of Steve's use of language, in ICANN there varieties of 'consensus'.
the top three are:
- full or unanimous consensus - everybody but everybody
- rough or near consensus, where most all agree except for perhaps one or two
and their viewpoint has been fully expressed, understood and documented.
- consensus policy where a supermajority defined as some percentage of each
house of the GNSO Council agrees in a vote.
So, when using the word consensus in the GNSO at least, it has to be qualified
for people to know which meaning is meant.
a.
