Since we (supposedly) all have the best interests of the AFRINIC community at heart, we should seek to unite rather than divide. Operating in this manner, we would find that #3 and #4 as listed in the preceding emails are actually non-issues.

The above is very good advice.

RFC 7282 "On Consensus and Humming in the IETF” <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7282> contains a good description of rough consensus, ways to assess whether or not you have it, and ways to guide a discussion towards consensus.
