@FritzAdalis@infosec.exchange The "51%" rule in IETF rules (https://web.archive.org/web/20251217213247/https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2418.html) says they can't proceed with 51% or less of the WG.

@FritzAdalis@infosec.exchange More fundamentally, https://web.archive.org/web/20250528213926/https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf-llc-statement-competition-law-issues/ says the following: "IETF activities are conducted with extreme transparency, in public forums. Decision-making requires achieving broad consensus via these public processes." IETF also labels every RFC from every WG as "consensus of the IETF community". The more people we have speaking up, the more obvious it is that what happened here wasn't consensus (even if they try to claim it was "rough consensus", whatever exactly that means).
