I am sure: there isn't any.

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.
