+1

I think [2] is just fine. I do not agree with the AD’s summary of [2].

Hi Paul,

Quoting from [2] below:

"The chairs will then redo a working group
last call to see if there is rough consensus for publishing this document."

FWIW, I read that as meaning a fresh WGLC not one limited to the
diff. And I think it'd be unwise to process this as if it weren't
as controversial as it clearly is.

Cheers,
S.
