There were a few different proposals.  Some had support.  Others probably didn't.

What was missing was a directed exercise at trying to reach consensus. As is usual for anything in front of the full IETF, a free-for-all exchange meets with various objections and there is no follow-through to try to resolve things. Any momentum that might have built then dissipates.

For spontaneous efforts, like these, it would be helpful to get a facilitator appointed to serve something similar to the role of working group chair, to try to resolve differences and assess consensus.
