I share William's point here. I dropped all of my filters when I was
elected into the IDNO membership committee also. A leader has no
business shunning their constituency, which includes ALL of the GA
participants. How can you guage consensus when you don't hear all of the
voices? I kind of gives the lie to Javier's claim of consensus positions
and degree of consensus held by any opinion. Personally, it is the
single reason to discredit Javier's claims of consensus points and it
makes him look like a fool, for making those claims under those
conditions.

I know others, in the IETF, who also do this. The IETF has problems.
