> 4. Malcolm's document on consensus

since I cannot make this call, let me just confrm that I have
read Malcolm's documen, agree with the approach and think it is
in scope for our work.

There are some wording issues I'd like to see addressed ("disregard")
might be proper legal English, but has connotations that indeed
might match the perception of the person feeeling 'disregarded').

Also, the explanation centers a bit much around obstruction rather than
dissent and it get's around numbers where I do not think it should.

What I'd like to see emphasized, though, is that 'rough consensus'
is a process more than a snapshot, and that's a process of discussion
and (spoilert alert) compromise.  Therefore, the degenerate 'social media'
style +1 floods ar enot helpful.
Also, while the intro says it won't discuss applicability of the paradigm,
we could emphasize a bit more that some topics might a priori
not well open then to 'rough consensus' (like personnel debates)
and some topics fail that approach and this is discovered on the way
(which is why the IETF applies tie breaking strategies).
