There was a "vote" going on, eitehr initiaed by Patrick or by Jeff,  
Furthermore, it is not the question whether you can see the benefit, but if a 
number of people on this GA list can see the benefit, juding by most 
reactions and the ineptness in creating a consensus, which until now has been 
shown here, I would say that a chair, whos firtst task it is to try and reach 
a consensus, would encourage any initiative to reach such, or otherwise take 
initiatives himself, instead of telling people it cna not be done.

Also a trial would not hurt the GA in any way as far as i can see.

I fail to see when i was appointed chair, however i do notice consent on a 
number of points,  so reaching consensus on this one should not be the 
hardest part of our lives.

Your sarcasm fails, it is the task of the chair to seek consensus, or to hand 
th GA the tools to find it, not mine, I am but a mere vote but if this is the 
best you can do then in my opinion that is not enough.

Is this meant to be a statement of incapability ? I can hardly imagine, but 
let's split the topic in two parts (based on Rick's e-mail) and try and reach 
consensus on them one by one, it might help.
Part one, The position of the GA in reference to the VGRS / Snapnames 
proposal and 
part 2. The GA's proposal for deletion problems

I am sure that a workgroup on delete could do more faster and bettert then 
the full GA, who also have other post to consider and are limited to 5 posts 
a day, but it is your opinion we should not have workgroups open or closed.
