Perhaps we can have a consensus call made now. Perhaps we'll only be close, but that may help us figure out how to get there. Tom? Kurt? What do you think?
While I do appreciate your desire to conclude on these issues sooner than later, I am reluctant to attempt to close the poll early especially when consideration of the poll also involves consideration of multiple proposals. I am also reluctant to offer a statement of where the chairs might think we currently stand during the course of the poll, as this might discourage participants who have yet to speak up from speaking up.
I do note (to those who have not yet spoken up) that when determining consensus for this poll, silence will be regarded as apathy, not as agreement with any particular preference or proposal.
