Jennifer Wolfe:I agree with Avri. I apologize I have to leave Adobe Connect, but will continue to be on my cell in my car. Julie Hedlund:Thanks Jennifer. Noted. Mary Wong:Me too. I'm particularly struck by the fact that we're not a WG and have a different function. Bladel:Are we inserting "Full Consensus" or removing it in favor of "Standard WG Rules" Mary Wong:@James, "full consensus as defined by the WG Rules". Julie Hedlund:I think Avri was suggesting substituting full consensus for the Standard WG Rules Avri Doria:no it was becasue we required fgull consensus. Avri Doria:exactly. Mike O'Connor:i think she's setting the bar higher Avri Doria:yes that is what i am sayon this group should only use full consensus. Mike O'Connor:full consensus per WG rules? Mike O'Connor:or unanymous? Avri Doria:yes, it used to be full consensus and that is what i think it should remian. Julia Charvolen:Please mute your line if you are not speaking Avri Doria:ful consensus == unanimity Mary Wong:@Mikey, yes, Full Consensus would have the same meaning as for a WG. Julie Hedlund:As defined in the WG standard methodology as: • Full consensus - when no one in the group speaks against the recommendation in its last readings. This is also sometimes referred to as Unanimous Consensus.• Full consensus - when no one in the group speaks against the recommendation in its last readings. This is also sometimes referred to as Unanimous Consensus. Julie Hedlund:Sorry -- I pasted it twice Bladel:Full Consensus = No Objections. Mike O'Connor:ah. thanks Avri Doria:exactly Bladel:Kinda how the GAC does business. Avri Doria:yes Mike O'Connor:what is our current standard of consensus? full consensus? Ron A:@ Mikey: Yes, full is our current standard Avri Doria:i do not approve of the way this meeting is being maniopulated Mike O'Connor:i agree with Avri on both counts -- full consensus, and follow the queue Ron A:We have only 8 minutes left in this part and I would like to have a broad discussion of all members Mike O'Connor:yikes. fell off the call Mike O'Connor:i'm with Avri. back in a minute Julia Charvolen:Mike do you wish the operator to dial out to you? Mike O'Connor:naw -- an elephant stepped on my phone. Julia Charvolen:Mike is back in Mike O'Connor:does the IPC have representation on the SCI right now? do we have to wait for that, before acting on anything? Bladel:Can I request that Staff re=send the two options & the 4 criteria? Ron A:IPC has 2 reps, but J Scott just resigned. Anne is at her son's grad. Mike O'Connor:thx Ron A:IPC had not yet taken their members' temp on this issue Mike O'Connor:a little closer to the mic should do the trick Ken Mary Wong:Agree with Mikey. Mike O'Connor:i'd wait a month -- so we can get Ken's stuff too Mike O'Connor:which way are we voting w/agree/disagree? Bladel:Mikey: Agree, going forward monthly, but lets' have one more "reboot" meeting. Avri Doria:prefer monthly Mike O'Connor:that's fine. Ken, can you get some of your stuff out in time for that meeting too? Bladel:close the charter, etc. but the SOP would be monthly after that. Avri Doria:had sound go out during the'vote' Mike O'Connor:your sound just dropped again Avri Avri Doria:never mind. Avri Doria:ok Julie Hedlund:The suggestion is two weeks and then to a monthly schedule. Avri Doria:thanks Bladel:bingo Avri Doria:cheers Mary Wong:Thx Ron, Julie, everyone!
