Luckily, this is not a decision you alone have to take for the rest of  
us. The WG does so collectively. The "group solidarity of belief or  
sentiment" of the WG is that there *is* consensus. [Or at least that's  
my impression.] If the AP WG chairs determine that the WG has arrived  
at a consensus, consensus is declared and the proposal goes on to the  
next stage of the PDP.

If you personally are unsure if the WG has reached consensus on  
2011-02, say so. And do it very clearly. For bonus points, explain why  
you have doubts. This might encourage others holding that view to that  
so too. Explaining why you are unsure would perhaps allow others to  
clarify matters. If there are enough people on the list saying they  
are unsure, then by definition we can't have consensus on the proposal  
in the WG because that level of doubt shows there is uncertainty about  
"group solidarity of belief or sentiment".

We can. And I think we already have. Geza's consent (or lack of  
opposition) is not critical to declaring consensus on 2011-02. He does  
not have a veto. Nobody does.
