Yes, I realize that.

The other thing it doesn't define is if it is for each individual group
or the entirety of the region. As I read it, it would be the region. As
I would hope it meant, it would be the individual groups.

Although I had a hard time believing this as well, Richard Fairborne
clearly said this. (At least it was clear in my mind, which is a bit
cloudy at times.) I believe he is a member of this list, so maybe he
could clarify it if I am wrong.

Honestly, I hope *we* would have the sense not to do that to a group if
they were unwilling. For example, when the final polling happens state
that La Marche/Seawinds would only be considered if *both* are in
consensus. If we get a clear view that they are unwilling from the straw
polls, then we shouldn't force the issue.
