Community,
We had discussed at the plenary in IETF103 (as well as other venues) some potential improvements which may be made in the WG process of conflict resolution and obtaining consensus.  
There will be a second draft with potential solutions to the issues that have been pointed out in the draft below.
Please let us know your thoughts. Thanks,

Abstract:
  At the IETF, we currently use a set of methods to communicate a point
  of view, to solicit input, to resolve conflict and attempt to obtain
  consensus within the group.  These methods include: writing an
  Internet Draft, discussion on email lists, discussion at face-to-
  face, interim or virtual meetings, and design teams.  At times, these
  methods fall short.  People become entrenched in their positions.  A
  Working Group may be split for a prolonged period wasting time and
  energy.  There may be a lasting impact.  While the authors support
  rough consensus, the collateral damage of this process, at times can
  be considerable.  This document discusses the benefits and drawbacks
  of each of the current methods of communication focusing solely on
  their efficacy at conflict resolution.  A companion document will
  propose some solutions including alternative methods of conflict
  resolution.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
