• Consensus at Policy SIG Meeting

• Consensus at the AMM

• Comment Period to confirm consensus

– Now 4 – 8 weeks

• EC endorsement

• Editorial Comment period

• Implementation

Consensus Decision Making

• Consensus = “general agreement” taking into consideration

comments on the mailing list and at the meeting.

• Show of hands is a way of “broadly gauging opinion”

• Comments via Remote Participation are welcome

• Example definitions from Tao of IETF:

– a very large majority of those who care must agree

– strongly held objections must be debated until most people are

satisfied that these objections are wrong

Remember

• Minor Objections

– some problems may occur for some members of the group

• Major Objections

– major problems will occur for parts of the community

• Participants should “work together” to resolve
