Mauricio,

I find this procedure rather odd. I think at the very least you should
have forwarded the replies to the proper list before the poll closed.
Far be it from me to suggest any conspiracy, but I find it inappropriate
to come up with a rabbit from the hat trick after the poll has closed. I
thought consensus was gauged on the list, not at some private alias?
I have seen no discussion on the list, apart from Avi's responses
(thanks for that!), where do all these people all of a sudden come from?
And does it matter what company they represent? I was under the
impression that "we are all individuals".....

Can I ask for some more openness in future consensus polls?

then on the list, he missed the final consensus call)
