I'd phrase this "agree beforehand" as the mandatory-to-implement set of
algorithms.  I read your original message as saying that you didn't think
there should be *any* MTI algorithms.  If I misread, then we're on the same
page.

The proposal on the table is for there to be a second draft which contains
the MTI algorithms.

We'd need to write that consensus down in a document so that folks who came
along later would know what we decided.  Drafts don't *have* to be long and
complicated. :)
