I was the one that, during the IGC Charter process, proposed the second 
part of #2 and other language to avoid the physical meetings from 
hijacking the online consensus. However, this was not meant to prevent 
action completely: there is a judgement to make, and the call was up to 
Parminder, who was coordinating this time.

Personally, I think that the deciding point is: were we just restating 
existing text, or adding anything new? As far as I understand (and for 
what was discussed on list in the very last days before the 23rd), we 
just restated points that the caucus already approved in February, so I 
don't see that as a "change in language" - actually, it abides by the 
spirit of the Charter.

In any case, if you disagree with the coordinators' call, we have an 
appeal mechanism that you can use.
