[Magdalen] for Christopher

[Grace Cangialosi]

Christopher, why do you regret the decision to leave the consent decisions to standing committees instead of GC when the elections come too close to the time of GC? I always thought the former procedure was unfair, in that it could make a real spectacle of the consent process, as it did with Gene Robinson. I don't even remember who else was approved at that time; their names kind of got lost in the shuffle, and that seems a shame.
