<div>Vittorio and Parminder,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many thanks for the great effort to induce the consensus.</div>
<div>While it may not be the perfect outcome, it still is far better</div>
<div>than not reaching the rough consensus, I would say.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As this is the first time for the new coordinators, I think you</div>
<div>now have found some challenges as all the predecessors faced.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We will collectively learn good lessons to carry forward.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's a pitty that I could not join f2f in Geneva, but remain</div>
<div>engaged.</div>

<br><br>1) There is sufficient support for us to make the statement (as it was<br>put forward for the consensus call).<br><br>Given that this is the first time, and it was a learning process for us<br>all, I hope that everyone understood that a "consensus call" is not a
<br>call for further amendments, but a straw poll to understand whether the<br>work as it stands is sufficiently satisfying to everyone to be released<br>as a group product. In this respect, we saw just one person asking for
<br>further significant edits before giving support, while most others<br>seemed to support it in the general sense, and so our call is that there<br>is rough consensus.<br><br>This does not mean that the changes that were proposed in these 48 hours
<br>were not good - personally, I found many of them quite agreeable - but<br>we considered that by incorporating them at this point in time, we would<br>be making our own process moot. So we decided to stick with the process.
<br>Perhaps, for the next time, we will try to have more time for the<br>discussion and one more round of editing, but, on the other hand, it's<br>well recognized that we all are busy and tend to mobilize only when very
<br>near to deadlines :)<br><br>However, I think that this still leaves me the freedom to do<br>non-substantial changes such as refining the English, so I'll do that if<br>I can.<br><br>2) There is not enough consensus to add the extra text on ICANN.
<br><br>In the end, given the reactions (averagely positive, but with strong<br>objections as well), we decided that it would be better to keep the<br>existing language on such a sensitive matter. This does not prevent all
<br>those who spoke strongly in favour or strongly against from doing so<br>tomorrow in their own (or their organizations') capacity.<br><br>Regards,<br>--<br>vb. Vittorio Bertola - vb [a] bertola.eu
