Same here. It’s fine to say “there is no consensus to adopt at this time, try 
again later”.
It’s fine to say “there is consensus to adopt, so this will be a WG item moving 
forward through the process”.
“Adopted and parked” makes no sense to me.

Cheers,

There was a call _for adoption_. The specified call period is over. The
chairs now have to issue a clear declaration of either "Yes, there was
consensus to adopt" or "No, there was not consensus to adopt", so that
there's a record of the result and so that people who think the chairs
erred (in whichever direction) have the ability to appeal

I also find myself confused by the email from the chairs.

Is it trying to say "we believe there is consensus to adopt the draft and
so it is hereby adopted" or "we believe this is the right way forward and
we are taking the WG's temperature".

Chairs, can you please clarify?
