What’s the difference between IETF “rough consensus” and ISO “consensus” ?
Generically, its who has standing to be counted for consensus.
E.g.
To have a say in approval polls, or for longer-term participation, normally you would join your national body (NB); please consult your nation’s body for specific information, as each NB has its own rules and requirements. A second option is that it is also possible for anyone to join the United States national body, which permits non-U.S. members and accepts just about anyone who wants to pay US$1,950 a year to be a member; a number of our international participants use this option when it’s significantly cheaper than what their own national body charges.
Also, that link was for defining consensus for one work group under one subcommittee of ISO and probably shouldn't be generalized to apply to more than that.
