A majority of the decisions this year were made on the mailing list, with a
quorum consensus rather than majority. Plenty slipped through, and tougher
decisions were deferred to meetings or ultimately not made, but largely due
to team coherency issues more than anything else. There were *very* few
times that the Board suffered from consensus gridlock this year, which is a
good sign.
