In relation to the discussion at the microphone in today's APWG session,
a policy proposal is a working group proposal. If there are arguments
against a proposal, there is an implicit requirement to acknowledge
these arguments.
It is not relevant that the authors don't like those arguments.
There are a lot of reasons for this, including objectivity and
consensus. But it is also important document the decision-making process
so that we have a future record of how decision about policy decisions
are made, and what was considered. If we don't have that written record,
we will lose the institutional knowledge of why policies say what they say.
