The process (which, by the way, is just a XEP like any other - we can
change it) stipulates that a document that gets a Last Call but fails
to advance in one Council restarts the Last Call in the next Council.
Whether that's a good idea or not is really immaterial - it is the
process we have, and therefore it is the process we follow. (We have
had this process for 14 years, incidentally).

To suggest that a Council Member voting -1 is stalling is a very
serious charge, and suggests that they are deliberately misusing the
standards process to the detriment of their position.

Therefore I would like to give you the opportunity to retract that accusation.
