All - as agreed earlier today, please find attached my addition of a preamble to Malcolm's initial draft of the doc he has send around attached to his email cited below. Best, -C. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Accountability-tf] Proposed Accountability TF Call Monday 4-Dec @ 14:00 UTC+1 Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 12:49:53 +0000 From: Malcolm Hutty <malcolm@linx.net> To: William Sylvester <william.sylvester@addrex.net>, Accountability TF <accountability-tf@ripe.net> [...] Secondly, please find attached a first straw man draft of "Rough Consensus at RIPE", a discussion of what rough consensus means and the implications of using it. Further apologies for not having done this weeks ago. Pressures of work, of course. It's mostly "complete", in the sense there's only two sections I planned to write that I haven't started yet ("the critical role of the Chair" and "comparisons with IETF"). There may be more topics I haven't thought of; please let me know. Of course, as to the core of the paper, there may be additional categories of objections that can properly be disregarded in a consensus call, beyond those I have identified. Please let me know, or craft additional text yourselves. I hope you find it a useful contribution. [...]
