12. Steps to Implementation
• Proposal submission
• Mailing list discussion before meeting
• Consensus at Policy SIG Meeting
• Consensus at the AMM
• Comment Period to confirm consensus
– Now 4 – 8 weeks
• EC endorsement
• Editorial Comment period
• Implementation

13. Consensus Decision Making
• Consensus = “general agreement” taking into consideration
comments on the mailing list and at the meeting.
• Show of hands is a way of “broadly gauging opinion”
• Comments via Remote Participation are welcome
• Example definitions from Tao of IETF:
– a very large majority of those who care must agree
– strongly held objections must be debated until most people are
satisfied that these objections are wrong

14. Remember
• Minor Objections
– some problems may occur for some members of the group
• Major Objections
– major problems will occur for parts of the community
• Participants should “work together” to resolve
