I have suggested we use the members of the NRO NC.  You appear not to
agree with that suggestion, and that is fine.  I'd certainly like others
to post on the same topic if they happen to agree with me.

Assuming we go forward with this plan as currently outlined, I'd like to
see that those who judge consensus on this team should all be community
members.

I only suggested that the members of the NRO NC were an appropriate
group to judge consensus during this process. I am well aware that the
current global policy process is very slow moving.  The members of this
team could certainly choose their own method for reviewing and moving
forward with this proposal.

Given the restrictive timeline, my only suggestion would be to take
volunteers from the community and then choose by lot or vote of the AC.
