I’ll let the chairs speak for themselves as to how they made the determination that it was acceptable to proceed, and similarly at WG adoption call, but in looking back at the OpSec list archives to write this message, I don’t view this as having particularly strong consensus within the WG to publish. The adoption call [1] was “no objection” and while I see reviews at adoption call, I see no strong messages of support *or* opposition. The WGLC was actually completed on version -03, in March of *2013* [2]. The draft is now version -07, and no new WGLC was done. The reviews done at WGLC look to me like there were 3 or 4 in total, one of which (mine) expressed concerns about the document proceeding (the message is referenced in my previous message), the others mainly focused on the document’s completeness and accuracy, not whether it was a good or bad idea. Like Joel, I’m not willing to go to the wall (I.e. Appeal on process grounds) to prevent this draft from being published, but I thought that this information might be helpful in determining how to proceed.
