The key words were "...from many IETF leadership representatives".

To me it looks like the quoted text is not even claiming consensus among
IETF leadership, let alone the IETF. If anything, it's acknowledging
the _lack_ of consensus. However, it may just be poorly phrased. Maybe
Toerless meant that the IETF leadership considers the +1s as evidence of
rough consensus. Funny that there should be more +1s than -1s given
that expressing disapproval gets one a suspension from the SAA. Or that
we should determine consensus democratically now when that's not normal
procedure.
