[governance] Consensus call results on statement to CSTD working group

[Deirdre Williams]

Dear Jeremy,
First of all I applaud all of the hard work that has gone into the document.
Second life reared up over me this morning and swallowed all of my
time so I don't have a leg to stand on (I realised that it was 6pm GMT
as I dashed between Lower 6A in CEHI and Lower 6B in OTW)
but thirdly I was a bit miffed this morning when you announced the
results of a poll that had been stated to be open until 6pm GMT.
The statement has my support in principle, but my plan was to finish
reading through the latest version so that I could offer informed
consent.
Please don't send me to Coventry because I didn't vote this time.
Best wishes to all, but especially to everyone who has been affected
by what has happened and is happening in Japan
Deirdre
