I think we need to catalog how each community determines consensus
as part of a transparent process and assure that they have met the
requirements that their community has accepted, but I don't think
it's up to us to impose any concept of uniformity on what consensus
is for their process. We do however need to understand what we mean
by consensus for the assembled draft; which I believe has been
discussed extensively on this list.<br>
