Just a brief point. I previously noted here that RIPE's rules requiring unanimity or near unanimity in order to declare "consensus" with respect to any given proposal has recently been recognized, by some EU politicians at least, as being a material impediment to forward movement on various issues.
RIPE does not require unanimity to declare consensus. What *is* required is significant support and that all objections raised have been sufficiently addressed. If and when that is reached is judged by the WG chairs, and sometimes this is a very tough job (if there have been lengthy and heated discussions on some side aspects, for example). For RIPE's address policy WG, I used to point at RFC7282, which describes the goals for "IETF consensus" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7282) Gert Doering -- somewhat involved in RIPE policy things -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
