IETF有着悠久的传统，
协商一致进程，同时考虑到各方的不同意见，
IETF参与者并达成（至少是粗略的）共识，
技术问题。特别是，IETF不应该运行
“多数人统治”的哲学。这就是为什么我们要举行仪式，
“哼歌”而不是投票。然而，我们越来越多的行动是
现在与投票没有区别，而且我们经常让
多数人获胜，而不考虑少数人的关切。这
文件解释了粗糙共识的一些特征，什么不是粗糙
共识，我们如何摆脱它，我们如何思考
我们可以做的事情，以真正实现
粗略的共识。注：本文件是有意识地
作为信息化。它不建议改变任何IETF
过程，因此不是BCP。它只是一个集合，
原则，希望IETF可以围绕这些原则（至少
粗糙）共识。
The IETF has had a long tradition of doing its technical work through
a consensus process, taking into account the different views among
IETF participants and coming to (at least rough) consensus on
technical matters. In particular, the IETF is supposed not to be run
by a "majority rule" philosophy. This is why we engage in rituals like
"humming" instead of voting. However, more and more of our actions are
now indistinguishable from voting, and quite often we are letting the
majority win the day without consideration of minority concerns. This
document explains some features of rough consensus, what is not rough
consensus, how we have gotten away from it, how we might think about
it differently, and the things we can do in order to really achieve
rough consensus. Note: This document is quite consciously being put
forward as Informational. It does not propose to change any IETF
processes and is therefore not a BCP. It is simply a collection of
principles, hopefully around which the IETF can come to (at least
rough) consensus.
