The GNSO wrestles with this issue (consensus levels) in its policy development process. We have developed some descriptions/guidelines that differentiate between "unanimous" vs "consensus" vs "strong support, with opposition". Perhaps on of the Staff folks could post these to the list for the group's consideration? Thank you-- J. __________________________ James Bladel GoDaddy jbladel@godaddy.com

In addition it should be transparent on whose behalf CG members speak and - if at all - participate in consensus calls. It could be helpful to mention it in the charter.
This is a hard problem in general. In our specific case I would go for the pragmatic approach: "No outspoken disagreement by anyone NTIA cannot ignore." This is easy to check if we liaise closely with NTIA.
