e. Communication continues until rough consensus is achieved.

Rough consensus seems to be a bit ambiguous compared to the concreteness of the rest of this process. What does it mean? That most participants in the discussion agree? That everyone at least sort of agrees? Also, the process doesn’t say who will arbitrate or make the final call should rough consensus not occur.Keith Wessel
Added a footnote which describes rough consensus: We do not require complete unanimity, but strive to achieve a point where all issues brought forward have been considered and we can continue moving.  See RFC7282, "On Consensus and Humming in the IETF."
