I agree that we should focus our attention on only those issues where 
there is no broad agreement.   But we need to hold a quick vote on each 
recommendation to determine if there is no broad agreement on it.   I 
don't think we should presume anything here, we should know. The 
implications for this policy are too broad-reaching to fail to create a 
record that explains the level of support for our recommendations.   
This could be done in a few minutes and would give us some level of 
certainty of where we need to spend our energy, and what must be left 
behind.
