Right, so we went from 5-5 on many things to either 9-2 or 8-3.  Trend
indicates 100% would be reached with another ballot after continued
discussion, IFF the use case team continued.

Excellent, that's what I think Zahid and I were asking.

I recall those facts.  We have also since discovered some of the
difficulties that the balloting approach has gotten us into.  This is an
example as we don't know whether the no ballots are strong or weak Nos.  If
they are weak nos, then we might actually have consensus - defined as
everybody can live with the particular issue.

Darren presenting the list of issues to the f2f is exactly what I was
thinking.
