Multiconsensus

From IUCG - Internet Users Contributing Group

The IUCG culture is based upon a multilateral and distributed systemic vision of the Internet and the world. It can be summarized as "multiconsensus and living mode" as compared with the IETF "rough consensus and running code". The whole challenge of the IUCG is precisely to translate their vision into IETF unilateral requirements.

The multiconsensus formula should permit IUCG to present a set of interoperable separated unilateral requirements the IETF may chose from to elect the IETF proposition that can be interoperable with the other local solutions that some users might favor in their own living mode.

It should simply translate for Thematic Moderator in supporting a set of parallel propositions or requirements, and accept them only if their proponents demonstrated they understood others's demands and have provided an alternative way to support them. It is expected that such a target should help cross-polenizing positions and lead to more structured and robust architectures which cannot be hi-jacked by a technical lobby.

To be able to consider the largest number of different needs and to focus on the interoperability of the proposed solutions is considered as a basic requirement of the precautionary principle.
