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)
