The generally accepted definition of consensus is lack of sustained, reasonable objection. This does not mean everyone has to agree: that's unanimity. A consensus determination does not mean there are no objections either. Some people may well disagree with a proposal. That does not give them a veto on the proposal and their objection(s) don't necessarily block the WG from reaching consensus. I suggest you read RFC7282. Although this documents how the IETF defines consensus, much of that applies to other similar organisations and communities such as RIPE.
