That may be, but I don't believe it is the answer that representitves of
ICANN would offer. My question is: what is the "official" answer?
I have seen very little in the way of "consensus" expressed on any of a
great number of issues, so I am curious where the claims of "consensus"
emerge from. Are the board members going out and speaking with
constituents? Are they relying on staff to provide them with summations of
views and "consensus" of the community?
It would be very helpful indeed to know the answer to this question, as
well as the litmus test they are applying when determining when
"consensus" is present.
Esther, as the only board member that apparently has any public
communication with constituents, could you perhaps spare a moment to
answer this question?
