What is "humming" in this context?
- FredBaker 12y agoHumming is the making of a low, steady continuous sound like that of a bee, as described in the dictionary. In the IETF, we use this as a variety of voice vote. However, we don't take formal decisions using it; we use it to get a "sense of the room". The chair will make a statement, and say "if you agree, hum... if you disagree, hum... if you didn't express an opinion, hum...". And people hum.
