This one looks like the ECUSA caving. Look especially #3:
"Those of us having jurisdiction pledge to withhold consent to the consecration of any person elected to the episcopate after the date hereof until the General Convention of 2006, and we encourage the dioceses of our church to delay episcopal elections accordingly."

I'm not so sure. Two points, one already made in this thread:

1) It looks like nobody gets consecrated. What was the jurisdiction that recently said that if gays can't be married nobody gets married, until it's all sorted out?

2) I keep wondering about the phrase "Those of us having jurisdiction pledge..." -- but it's been a long day, I am tired and about to go offline and rest.

Those of us having jurisdiction pledge...

The House of Bishops includes Diocesean Ordinaries (the head bishop of a Diocese), Suffragan Bishops (the Bishop who'll take over as Ordinary when the Ordinary retires), and Associate/Assistant Bishops (no right of succession, but they help the Ordinary with his/her duties). Only the Ordinary has jurisdiction in their diocese to approve/deny liturgical changes such as celebrations of same-sex unions. The rest were there at the HOB, though, so this wording was used.
