Re: ISSUE-153 Consensus

Brooks,

not sure if I understand you correctly. But I think you suggest that the 
correct way to put this in the wiki would have been to list the proposal 
as “no change”.
In my opinion listing the actual TPE text that is the competing proposal 
is more readable, if there is only a limited number of proposals.

We usually do not list the supporters of a proposal but just make sure 
in the weekly call that it has considerabe support within the group.
