Joop,

Thank you for the view of what occured in Berlin. 

Even had there been consensus in Berlin, which, from your account there
wasn't, the far more important issue is that no consensus call or vote was
taken from those not physically present in Berlin. 

One can only wonder what miniscule percentage of participants in this
arena were present in Berlin vs. the total number including those not
physically present.
