For most matters silence of the majority plus consensus among those involved is sufficient. However the IETF as a hole is an excellent resource for taking a look in situations where more eyes are required. An example of this is when there is a minority who is unhappy with the consensus or when there are specific issues we want greater review on. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
