That’s the correct way to put it, Volker. No consensus, no SSAD. Perhaps the draft report can be modified to indicate that.

Ultimately, the "no-SSAD" "option" describes the status quo. In other words, if we as a group fail to reach consensus this is what we'll have, regardless of what we want. Maybe this can serve as encouragement to move away from extreme positions that have a rabbits chance in a snake pit to survive a consensus call...

This is not our understanding at all. One reason I want to eliminate the “no SSAD” option is that I think it confuses the issue of centralizing requests, which can be done and can gain consensus, versus centralizing the decision maker, which I think is deeply problematic and will never gain consensus.
