Section A.4. says:
A.4. The "consensus" Attribute For some of the publication streams (see Appendix A.3), the "Status of This Memo" section depends on whether there was a consensus to publish (again, see Section 3.2.2 of [RFC5741]). The "consensus" attribute ("yes"/"no", defaulting to "yes") can be used to supply this information. The effect for the various streams is: o "independent" and "IAB": none. o "IETF": mention that there was an IETF consensus. o "IRTF": mention that there was a research group consensus (where the name of the research group is extracted from the <workgroup> element).
It should say:
