[NCUC-EC] EC Decision Making

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Bill, I have to agree with you -- in my particular case given the
tsunami of events in BR I have been unable to follow most threads.

It simply doesn't work, for whatever reasons some people just do not respond to mail fast enough or at all, and threads end up dangling in ways that are not only a pain in the butt to keep track of; when people ask us for answers and we dither and delay it feeds perceptions in the wider community.  So at least for smallish and routine items we need to return to the way NCUC worked for a decade before we got here and accept that it is ok to declare there to be sufficient consensus if after several messages and days a couple folks have replied and nobody has objected.
