During the public consultation session there was:

- some elaboration of what "consensus" means to the
  current board.  This was useful, as it helps to identify
  the parties that need to be at the table.

- some discussion on the question of accountability
  and what that means for ADNA.

Also, the drafters of the M+A claim that it is designed to not allow
hijacking by special-interest groups, and yet it takes only two
members to agree in order to pass a vote?  I'm too lazy to re-read the
M+A but I'm surprised that quorum isn't a problem.
