Dear Greg,<br>
<br>
thank you for explaining what consensus is. A "consensus call" is
indeed a call to ask for any opposition to the motion being
presented and usually only objectors should respond. On this
occasion (and on many others), some Chapters felt so strongly about
the Advice being given that they explicitly decided to also publicly
show their approval of the Advice. But indeed no objections were
received and showing support was entirely optional. Now the Chapter
AC Steering Committee has always said that if someone called for a
vote instead of a consensus call, it would be possible to go down
that route but all we are doing is to follow our Bylaws. <br>
<br>
Using "Unanimous Consensus" was unfortunate and having looked at the
announcement before it went out, I should have pointed this out. The
correct term is "Consensus".<br>
<br>
That said, I personally totally agree that we need to work with the
ISOC BoT Chair, <font face="verdana, sans-serif">the rest of the
Board, ISOC staff, the ChAC, the Chapters and all ISOC members to
work toward making ISOC the best organization it can be. So
focussing on procedures rather than the substance of the Statement
is entirely disingenuous and does not serve ISOC's Mission - and
that disconnect concerns me.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond<br>
Chapter AC Steering Committee Vice Chair<br>

it was a little off-putting to find that most of your
response seemed aimed at discounting the advice and the
level of support it enjoyed -- particularly given the major
themes of the advice itself. I understand these are trying
times, and that you may not have actually read the advice at
that time, but it did not strike me as quite the spirit in
which such advice should be acknowledged. I hope you will
accept this email in the constructive manner in which it is
offered.</font></div>

This is consistent with the the definition of consensus as
<u>lack of formal opposition.</u> This is simply not a
system designed to count supporters. It should not be used
as such -- particularly not to claim that the the result
of the consensus call indicated an 80-85% lack of

the attributes of this system, the number of positive

want a system that expressly enumerates positive support,
this isn't it. In this system, support arises from <u>lack

drafting team members did not respond to the consensus
call. Should this be understood to mean they did not
engage, did not participate in the discussion and did form
an opinion on the advice? Clearly not. It should be
understood to mean they understand the system, which is

notable that <i>the consensus call email thread contains
more emails (44) than any other ChAC thread in the last
three years, by a wide margin</i>. With regard to the
claim of 80-85% non-participation: there were roughly 25
positive responses, out of 98 ChAC reps (better than 25%
affirmative support). If you add in SC and DT members who
did not respond, active support rises to roughly 1/3 of
the total ChAC -- a substantial number in a system
predicated on objections or the lack of objections, rather
than affirmative support. </span></font></div>

the mark. This was a necessity so we could issue any advice
at all in a timely manner. This advice had been worked on
for weeks and was at the end of the consensus call when the
PICs were announced. Pulling back the advice and
considering the PICs would have required more drafting and
another consensus call. In a rapidly changing atmosphere,
this approach can result in no advice at all. Much of the
advice addressed issues beyond those to which the PICS
applied. It was judged better to put the advice out so that
it would be part of the record and the conversation, while
making it clear that it could be revised based on further
developments.</font></div>
