    It’s really not… If there is actual consensus, it’s pretty clear.
    
    If there’s any doubt, then a good rule of thumb is that is a pretty good indication of a lack of consensus.
    
    I’m not opposed to a last call period on the mailing list (in fact, I strongly support it), but for many reasons other than the difficulty of determining consensus in the meeting.

    Not really… It just requires the co-chairs to be up to date on the mailing list comments coming into the meeting. Especially if there is a safety valve in the form of a last call period… Comments which arrived late (just before or during the meeting) can be considered during the last call period.
    
The problem is that even during the meeting there can be emails in the list, etc. So, the consensus determination needs to be fair with all the comments. Furthermore, there is a lack of timing for the list vs the meeting.
