I haven't read the draft yet, and *before* I do so, I'd like to express
some doubt whether we should even informally describe this using the
word "process". It seems to me that it's each WG's prerogative how it
does this; it has no impact on the standards process as a whole. The
word "adopt" doesn't even occur in RFC 2418, and it is not used in
the context of WG adoption in RFC 2026.

In other words, I don't think this action is part of the standards process.
It's WG folklore.
