I also like to think that we should at least try to get an IGC rough-consensus on this.  Let's not give up on that without trying.  I also support the use of polls to get a broader segment of IGC members to give their feedback, rather than just the usual suspects chiming in on the mailing list.  In my experience an individually-addressed email invitation to a straw poll gets a much higher response rate and can be useful to the coordinators in assessing how widely-held are the dissenting views.
