Title : Alternative Decision Making Processes for Consensus-blocked Decisions in the IETF
Author(s) : T. Hardie
Filename : draft-hardie-alt-consensus-02.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2004-4-28
This document proposes an experimental set of alternative
decision-making processes for use in IETF working groups. There
are a small number of cases in IETF working groups in which the
group has come to consensus that a particular decision must be made
but cannot come to consensus on the decision itself. This document
describes alternative mechanisms which can be used to come to a
decision in those cases. This is not meant to provide an exhaustive
list, but to provide a known set of tools which can be used when
required.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
