For the record: After I read the minuets for Sept ftf I did raise the point that I do not hold with consensus, I still do not. That being said, I dare say we do not need 100% agreement for consensus. But it did seem that a few people agreed with me. That minimum conformance and the normative document, should not be restricted to checkpoints for which there are adequate test, but should include any checkpoint whose violation can bar a user from accessing information. By the way, we can not all get to each FTF, and teleconferences are in the middle of the night for me. Maybe consensus should be checked on the list. > Lisa Seeman writes: > > > 1.
