The WG's co-chairs are responsible for determining when the WG has reached consensus. The opinion of every member of the WG matters and is taken into account in that consensus determination. Provided of course the WG member expresses their opinion and does so in a reasonable way (ie no abusive/insulting language or ad-hominem attacks). Consensus does not mean that everyone has to agree. Please read RFC7282. Here's a quote from that: "Rough consensus is achieved when all issues are addressed, but not necessarily accommodated". Although this RFC is for the IETF's decision making its principles apply to RIPE and other Internet organisations too. In the case of 2015-01, we're at the point where the WG needs to decide if all the issues in the proposal have been addressed even if some of them not have not been accommodated. IMO we have reached that point. YMMV.
