Also remember that "no consensus" in an issue like this, really needs

I don't believe that is true in this case, as long as RFC 2780 is in
force.
Especially since there is a clear path for Larry Roberts to ask for
IETF consensus, which by definition would overrule the IESG.

just for my edification, how is IETF consensus determined,
esp. when there is a need to "overrule the IESG"? in other
contexts, this type of thing is done by a vote of the membership,
but last i checked, there are no members of the IETF.
