Re: [ga] Vote for WG-A Final Report

["Bret A. Fausett" <baf@fausett.com>]

Is it really possible to determine whether a consensus exists in the 
General Assembly? Should votes be taken instead at or after the next 
General Assembly meeting? 

A vote on consensus, if successful, taken immediately following the next 
real-time GA meeting might still allow a report to be forwarded to the 
Board for the Santiago meeting.
