I think that two consensus calls should be taken at this stage:
I concur with the precedence concerns that have already been raised, and also wonder about trying to orchestrate a sequence of consensus calls designed to move the group through a process that will get some folk to change their positions, in order to get the matter resolved.
The simplest form of such a sequence that I've heard about is to note the impasse, then ask whether the group does want to get the matter resolve. That's likely to get a strong rough consensus yes. Then note it's not going to resolve until folk change their current positions. The example I heard about did then produce a preferred choice.
No doubt, the current situation has folk who are more tenacious, so perhaps the sequence of calls needs to be a bit more elaborate.
BTW, as distasteful as it might be, is there a reason that making /both/ MTI would not work?
