You are correct there was a clear lack of consensus in the Paris
meeting. However, the gauge to enable us to formally declare
consensus (or lack thereof) is not the meeting, but the mailing
list.
From Scott Bradner to IETF newcomers at IETF 72: "final decisions
must be VERIFIED on mailing list, to ensure those not present are
included, but taking into account face-to-face discussion"
(upper-case added).
From RFC 2418:
In determining the balance, the WG must ensure that
its process does not serve to exclude contribution by email-only
participants. Decisions reached during a face-to-face meeting about
topics or issues which have not been discussed on the mailing list,
or are significantly different from previously arrived mailing list
consensus MUST be reviewed on the mailing list.
