It biases IESG in an inappropriate way. There are a number of very good reasons for overriding WG consensus, e.g. - there is no evidence of broad community consensus or a clear lack of broad community consensus - the document does not meet the criteria specified in 2026 (or other document when applicable) - the document is ambiguous in such a way that it is likely to degrade interoperability The WG DOES NOT represent the entire community. Far too often, WGs are deliberately chartered in such a way as to marginalize parts of the community Keith
