<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Mirriam,<div><br></div><div>You're saying it's "baseless and with no merit" when we as a community have struggled to pass policies etc via consensus (that's the base and also the merit). I'm just saying that using the second option is "tricky" because consensus-based voting has not been exactly pain-free/difficult for the PDWG. If we are looking for a more efficient and time-saving option, then option 1 is the way to go because consensus is difficult to achieve and is time-consuming. </div><div><br></div><div>thanks</div><font color="#888888">Gaby<br></font><br>(resent due to replying to mirriam only)</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 26, 2021 at 6:34 PM Mirriam <<a href="mailto:mirriamlauren@yahoo.com">mirriamlauren@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>Hi Gaby</div><div><br></div><div>I have been reading about the notion that consensus is hard and you are now claiming that its tricky etc...</div><div><br></div><div>I believe this claims are baseless and with no merit. </div><div><br></div><div id="gmail-m_1977182323822970606yMail_cursorElementTracker_1614335608503">Mirriam.</div><br><div id="gmail-m_1977182323822970606ymail_android_signature"><a id="gmail-m_1977182323822970606ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature" target="_blank">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 20px"> <div style="font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;color:rgb(109,0,246)"> <div>On Fri, Feb 26, 2021 at 12:55 PM, Gaby Giner</div><div><<a href="mailto:gabyginernetwork@gmail.com" target="_blank">gabyginernetwork@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding:10px 0px 0px 20px;margin:10px 0px 0px;border-left:1px solid rgb(109,0,246)"> <div id="gmail-m_1977182323822970606yiv4896720716"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi everyone,</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>It's quite obvious that option 1 is the clear choice to go with as opposed to option 2.
