I have to agree with Joel - but from a different angle. The "normal process" seems to be that - once an ID is approved at the WG level by rough consensus - it goes to the IESG and then to the IETF as a whole. If (for some reason) it does not gain rough consensus from the IETF as a whole (and this seems to be an extreme corner case), then it could be published as an individual RFC - but should be kicked back to the WG to make this decision. If it was then published as an individual (informational or experimental) RFC - that would be effectively because it first ceased to be a WG consensus draft. This may not be obvious, but it makes more sense than assuming that the WG could cause the RFC editor to publish an ID as any kind of a WG consensus RFC without IETF concensus... -----Original Message----- From: Gen-art <gen-art-bounces@xxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Barry Leiba Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2019 2:34 PM To: Joel M.
