What is it that is needed to get a decision made regarding rejection or approval of this proposal?

I am sure: there isn't any.
We have very loud voices that oppose the change, other voices want much more than that, and a number of people agree with it. If I do some sort of "averaging", the "average opionion" from this could be "yes, go for it", but basically it comes down to "what's our definition of consensus" now.
Well, my definition of "consensus" doesn't include any averaging... I'm thinking: why don't we get a group of people representing the different viewpoints together in Stockholm and try to hash out a compromise? However, this means the "free for all" proponents need to be willing to do some compromising. Dropping the 200 limit and giving everyone who pays the LIR fee a /32 isn't my idea of a compromise.
