 "Further discussion".  That option means you want to keep the
 discussion going.  Unless there's an explicit "leave things as they are
 now", there's no way to express that you want "no resolution".

 PS: In the national elections here, you can vote for someone, don't
     vote, leave your vote blank or invalidate it.  There's a very
     significant difference between not voting, leaving the vote blank
     and invalidating it.  Not voting doesn't change the outcome, and it
     means so much as "I don't care".  Voting blank changes the outcome
     (blank votes are added to the option with the most votes) and
     means, for me, "I can't decide myself, let others -- the majority
     -- decide for me".  Invalidating doesn't change the outcome, but
     goes into the record (from my POV there's a difference between
     winning with 40% of the valid votes and 40% of the emitted votes)
