Speaking in my personal capacity, I echo the surprise that the Board has decided to move a motion before they had full or close to full consensus on the issue - which is in general a departure from the usual.
I can only assume that there was a better reason behind the urgency than the need to pause and reflect 8-9 months before the next reflection period (the strategy process) actually began and that the Board will be able to share that reason in a transparent manner with the community.
Best regards, Bence

Yes, I agree that the consensus of the Board is clear.
IMHO, I wouldn't say that for two decisions taken with 7-3 and 6-4[1], when you can see that most of the times[2] the vote was unanimous.
