Stewart, et.al.,

First, there has been some ambivalence regarding what the issue with
an AD taking this type of decission.

- there is no doubt that an AD may take this decision, module enough
  involvement in the wg and giódd understanding of the issues

- it might be discussed if the right decision were taken, from my
  point of view (personal opinion) I can live with this decision

Comment on Stewart's comment inline.

Hi,

I have no information about the situation but I do not understand why an AD 
would be declaring consensus in any case -
that is normally the responsibility of WG chairs.  see RFC 2418 section 3.3

The only active/available WG chair was a co-author of this draft.

Cheers,
Sander




As a WGC that has been in a position where the chairs had a CoI, I(we) asked 
the WG Secretary to manage the document, and that is what other WGs do. Look at 
the DetNet data plane drafts as an example. That means that the decision is 
taken at the lowest level and leaves the AD continue in the oversight role.

Yes - a much better practice. You could also appoint working group chair from another group as "shepherd" and explicitly delegate the task to
call consensus after the wglc.

I think that PALS did this for me once when both chairs were draft
authors.

Anyway from the discussion on the list this probably need to go for review by 
the other two RTG ADs to check that they are happy with the decision or to 
recommend some other action.
