Like others, I cannot fathom how this suggests support for the disbandment of the MAG.  For now I am going to leave the consensus call open.  Once it closes Ginger and I can post any final suggested changes to the list for comment to see if anyone objects.

Others have pointed out that these belong in a separate statement, and I agree.  I don't think we need to draft a long, formal statement and make a consensus call on it, since we already have a long-standing consensus to promote these themes.  But let's start a separate thread.
