there are no rules on that question - in my opinion, anything
in front of a WG is fair game for a consensus call
Tony's point is that the consensus was not in front of the WG; please
allow me to reformulate my question:
If anything that is in front of a WG is fair game for a consensus call,
does it appear to you that a clear definition of "what is in front of a
WG" could be an addition to a revised RFC 2418?
the point I tried to make in my posting was that I think
there needs to be consensus to change something that has
already been adopted (more so if it was adopted a while
back), and that its not proper for a lack of consensus
to keep as a consensus or mandate to remove - i.e. there
should be a barrier to capricious changes of published
IETF specifications
I got that part; to clarify a little bit further, are you saying that in
order to remove published IETF specifications rough consensus is not
enough and strong consensus is required?
