RE: [wg-review] [CONSENSUS] IS A LOADED TERM...

["Joanna Lane" <jo-uk@rcn.com>]

It's unproductive to go into issues that have already been resolved. This
was determined by vote in the WG during it's first week when a poll was
taken as to what they deemed consensus to be for the purposes of this WG and
the goal posts of 2/3 was set.   Please check

I don't think that would be prudent.  I would propose that we allow the
report to be submitted but add an outline describing how we arrived at the
conclusions we did.  The results form the polls / voting can be included so
that the board can see exactly how many people were in favor of what.  It
will also give them a clear example of why it is important to provide future
wg's with an exact definition.  Didn't we already decide how this WG defined
consensus?  Perhaps you could include a "minority opinion" if you disagree.
That does not seem out of order.

No.  I am saying we hold up the report until we ascertain just what exactly
the majority in this WG consider a consensus to be.
