Silence means no such thing. What it may mean is uncertainty about how you 
define consensus and uncertainty about "solution which will be proposed".
Speaking out also does not mean that you can classify me as "an opponent of 
the idea".

Jefsey,

All these resources are also needed for the icannatlarge.com effort of 
bringing together  a membership of individuals.

There too, leadership will be needed to guide a process of coming to a 
consensus about ICANN policy issues.
Some of the tools to manage that process have already been created.
The Nomination process for an interim supervisory Panel has just started 
and elections will follow shortly.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you not calling for a duplication of effort?
