[gnso-vi-feb10] Consensus definitions

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

here's the latest language with regard to consensus-definitions.  it's from the 
latest draft of the GNSO policy-process working group -- the one that's looking 
at working-group process (i know, the title of the group is pretty confusing, 
sorry about that).



The Chair will be responsible for designating each position as having one of 
the following designations:

Full consensus – a position where no minority disagrees 

Consensus - a position where a small minority disagrees but most agree 

No consensus but strong support for a specific position / recommendation but 
significant opposition 

Divergence – no strong support for a specific position / recommendation

In the case of consensus, no consensus or divergence, the WG Chair should 
encourage the submission of minority viewpoint(s).
