I'll rewrite the first (quoted) paragraph as:

   For example, a meeting can agree the need for policy objectives in respect
   of rolling out IPv6, but could get derailed if there's protracted 
disagreement
   about whether to call it "deployment" or "migration". So put that 
word in square
   brackets and move on to agree the broad principles, while a subgroup works
   out which word has, yes I'll use the word, [consensus].
