because there is an ongoing Last Call and the intention is to ask the
community for feedback and then make a decision.
There is a rather fundamental "constitutional" difference between having the
IESG assess community rough consensus, versus having the IESG ask for input and
then make the decision based on IESG preferences. In the first, the formal
authority resides with the community; in the second it resides with the IESG.
Again, I'm not suggesting that a working group is necessary. There isn't that
much to discuss.

It didn't wreak havoc with Nomcom for last year. Why will it have that effect
for this year?
(On the other hand, classing the day pass as applying to a visitor rather than
participant could be a clever way to avoid the constitutional question.)
