I think it misses two
important points that should be addressed prior to publication:
1) The role WG/IETF mailing lists play in building and
gauging consensus
Yeah, as I just replied to Tom, I think this is worth adding, probably
in section 2 or 3.
2) That some participants/chairs/I*s like seeing hands, and that's okay
Yes, this is directly said in section 4, paragraphs 4 & 5. What do you
think is missing?
There are different ways to achieve and determine consensus. As stated
in RFC2418:
Consensus
can be determined by a show of hands, humming, or any other means on
which the WG agrees (by rough consensus, of course). Note that 51%
of the working group does not qualify as "rough consensus" and 99% is
better than rough. It is up to the Chair to determine if rough
consensus has been reached.
As I said in my reply to Dave, there's part of the above that I disagree
with, or at least think is an oversimplification. But it definitely need
citing.
