<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I have pointed out in the past and again this morning in another thread that a weakness in the current AHG process is that it’s possible for things to go into OFF without really
having had a lot of review from implementers. Not that there hasn’t been reasonable opportunity for review, but more that the engagement is passive: a proposal can be made and incorporated unless objections are raised, with silence treated as implicit consent.
But I don’t think it can really be considered consent if a proposal wasn’t actually reviewed: silence gives no indication up, down or sideways. I’d prefer to see more thumbs up on anything before adoption.</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hmm... Whose thumbs ought to go up, and if someone gives a thumbs down, what then?<br><br>Vlad, I'd like to request from you that, as chair, you write down and share the full AHG consensus protocol you want the group to use, as a proposal, and see if the group can agree to it, according to itself :) </div></div></div>
