Chris, Your position is that the IPMC fails to supervise. The consensus of the IPMC is that this is not true. Otherwise, someone would be reading the monthly report and objecting to the failure to report 'failure' to the board. If you want to change minds about this, you might need to come up with

I do not agree there is no IPMC oversight. The IPMC performs many actions each month which would fall to the board if the IPMC were disbanded. That is why the IPMC submits a board report. That being said, I think we ought to let this drop for now. Benson has stated he wants to address the specific

Yes your logic is flawed- what you are actually arguing for is majority voting not consensus voting, and bringing the criterion down from 100% to 75% only helps mitigate your concerns. As Doug points out, votes are structured away from the status quo- we don't ever vote to continue on with previ

It appears to me that we have a consensus here on using a majority system with a 3/4 supermajority. I'd like to establish the existence of this consensus with a minimum of fuss, and begin to stop wasting everyone's time. Our goal here is to achieve consensus, not to hold votes.
