Dear Co-Chairs,

this is a misrepresentation of the Charter and this whole sordid mess borders the deliberate, which would obviously invalidate the process.

A report is a report and a position is a position.

greetings, el

Dear Eberhard,
feel free to call me by my name.

The process you are describing will be invoked if and when it comes to determining the level of consensus in the group. Typically, a consensus call is conducted by the chair(s) for this purpose. We are not at that stage yet. We are still in the process of gathering information and deliberating in preparation of what might become a consensus position. Should there be no consensus at that very point in time, we might have minority reports.

Dear Co-Chairs,

I remain confused by Thomas' advice.

From the charter:

   The Chair(s) shall be responsible for designating each
   position as having one of the following designations:
   
   a) Full Consensus - a position where no minority disagrees;
   identified by an absence of objection

   b) Consensus - a position where a small minority disagrees,
   but most agree


I quite doubt that we shall need advice from our legal SubTeam what
EACH POSITION means.

   [...]  In the absence of Full Consensus, the Chair(s) should
   allow for the submission of minority viewpoint(s) and these,
   along with the consensus view, shall be included in the
   report.  [...]

I quite doubt that we shall need advice from our legal SubTeam whether
an interim report is a report.


Oh, this reminds me, I want to join the Legal SubTeam.

greetings, el

Dear Eberhard,
it is not foreseen in our charter to have minority views for other
scenarios than the consensus recommendations. I suggest you use the
public comment period to voice your concerns or indicate your preference
where our report is providing options as I am sure many of the
colleagues in the CCWG and their respective groups will do.
