Agreed, Milton’s proposed change works for me.

To be clear, the requirement is not that there be consensus within each
process, but that each proposal document "An
assessment of the level of consensus behind your community’s proposal,
including a description of areas of contention or disagreement,” as the
last sentence of the RFP explains.

The introduction currently says "Proposals are expected to enjoy a broad
consensus of support from all interested parties.” If Milton’s change is
accepted, could that sentence be modified to address your concern? Perhaps
“The operational communities are expected to convene processes that aim to
produce proposals that enjoy a broad consensus of support from all
interested parties."

This is specified in the explanation of item (iii) in the charter:

"The	ICG	will	then	develop	a	draft	final	proposal
that	achieves	rough	consensus	within	the	ICG	itself.	The	ICG	will	then	put	
this	
proposal	up	for	public	comment	involving a	reasonable	period	of	time	for	
reviewing	the	draft	proposal,	analyzing	and	preparing	supportive	or	critica
l	
comments.	The	ICG	will	then	review	these	comments	and	determine	whether	
modifications	are	required.	If	no	modifications	are	needed,	and	the	
coordination	group	agrees,	the	proposal	will	be	submitted	to	NTIA.”

I don’t really see a need to repeat this in the RFP since it concerns the
stage after the proposals have been submitted, but the RFP could point
readers to item (iii) in the charter if that would help.
