Consensus Calls will only come before the ultimate Final Report is delivered to the Council. We will not do consensus calls prior to the release of this draft final report.
That said, Leadership will discuss this week whether “dissenting” views can be covered in the draft final report and how they can be addressed in the draft final.
I am trying to stay away from using the term Minority Report for the draft final report because that does have a very specific meaning in our PDP process.

Subject: Re: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] Final Report to be published without Minority Views?
Hi All,
I'd like to echo Anne's questions about both Minority Views and Minority Reports. It would seem very appropriate and timely for them to be going out in the next version.
In many ways, it makes the report stronger. We discussed, debated and ultimately agreed on many issues (with tx to Jeff and Cheryl's leadership). All the more important (and valuable) to share those issues in which we continue to disagree. It's part of
the transparency and accountability of our process and part and parcel of our work together -- and the success of our presentation.
So let me echo Anne's question (slightly rephrased): Does the Consensus Call come before the Final Report is published or after?
How will minority views appear in the version that is soon to be published?
Best and hope everyone is well,
Kathy

Thank you,
