Then again, neither (IMHO) does consensus of an IETF WG impose any burden on IETF as a whole to adopt its output. Every working group (and every individual submitter) should understand that it's its job to earn community-wide consensus, rather than merely consensus within its group. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
