How would you like to proceed on the resolution of these issues?

Could you please enumerate the broader issues you would like resolved?

It is important that we define these issues, they will form the basis
of the success criteria for concluding on consensus.

Matthew Garrett raised two issues, that the joke was unwelcoming, *and*
that it was unrelated politically to what was published as the list
of politically supported positions by the GNU Project.

Could you please clarify if "anti-censorship" or "freedom of expression"
is part of "(2) supporting basic human rights in computing", which
*is* listed as a political position for the GNU Project? Could you also
clarify what restrictions "in computing" places on those rights?

In summary:

- We need to define the success criteria for consensus.

- To define the success criteria we need to know which broader
  issues need resolution before deciding on the issue of removing
  the joke.

Thank you for your feedback.
