If I'd been area director earlier in the process I might have just shut the working group when it became clear that the principals couldn't agree on a proposal, and required that they come to agreement before a BoF would be approved.   But it's much too late in the process to do that now.   And I don't even know if that would have produced a better outcome.

I don't think we should accept that this has to happen every time, and I think we should try to prevent it happening in the future.   But there is no sense crying over spilt milk.
