    No, I am suggesting that if a community determines that consensus in
    their community  is reached in a certain way and they provide no
    information related to reaching that consensus, that would be a
    basis for asking them to provide the information to make the
    application complete.  Only the community can determine what is a
    community consensus and if it was reached.  <br>

      <div>I guess Im unclear:  if we "catalog" how the various
        communities determined that they had reached consensus, does
        that mean we could make the determination that their proposal
        failed to do so?  If so, then what?<br>
        <br>
        Just want to be clear, as I see this particular approach as
        problematic.  It would be much cleaner to acknowledge that the
        communities achieved consensus by their own definition, and note
        this in our report without endorsement or reservation.<br>

        <div>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
