[PC-NCSG] Reconsideration

[Sam Lanfranco]

I am in support of this.

/Issue: The BC and NCSG believe that all members of the ICANN community 
are materially and adversely affected whenever ICANN staff seeks to 
impose de facto Consensus Policy in a top-down manner that is 
inconsistent with the Bylaws./

Even if we were to agree with the position taken, we have to get there 
through due process or procedures will mean nothing.
