The alternate wording you provided seemed to take this in a very different direction. I will look at the “extrapolate” phrase though to see if that can be sufficiently narrowed to a set of conditions that you would be comfortable with. > >> >> (Notwithstanding your initial objection to the concept of the LLC >> having a strategy framed this way) > > My initial objection was not to how text was framed but > to the assumption that the LLC decide how to call consensus > on this. As explained in a previous message, the LLC will not be calling consensus on this strategy but will at some point decided that it’s good enough to work with. > I continue to see that as a problem that has not > seen a response from the IESG. > >> It would be very helpful if you could point to those other elements >> of the draft strategy where the role of the IESG in calling >> consensus needs clarification. > Now I'm confused.

It is reassuring that you don’t have any. Jay > > S. > > <0x5AB2FAF17B172BEA.asc>
