A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : On Consensus and Humming in the IETF Author(s) : Pete Resnick Filename : draft-resnick-on-consensus-05.txt Pages : 15 Date : 2013-10-04 Abstract: The IETF has had a long tradition of doing its technical work through a consensus process, taking into account the different views among IETF participants and coming to (at least rough) consensus on technical matters. In particular, the IETF is supposed not to be run by a "majority rule" philosophy. This is why we engage in rituals like "humming" instead of voting. However, more and more of our actions are now indistinguishable from voting, and quite often we are letting the majority win the day, without consideration of minority concerns. This document is a collection of thoughts on what rough consensus is, how we have gotten away from it, and the things we can do in order to really achieve rough consensus. Note (to be removed before publication): This document is quite consciously being put forward as Informational. It does not propose to change any IETF processes and is therefore not a BCP. It is simply a collection of principles, hopefully around which the IETF can come to (at least rough) consensus. The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-resnick-on-consensus There's also a htmlized version available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-resnick-on-consensus-05 A diff from the previous version is available at: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-resnick-on-consensus-05 Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
