Before I weigh in on the topic: did I miss some new information that we 
uncovered after DISPATCH agreed to adopt this document that would be the 
basis for reversing that consensus?

While the discussion in Singapore shows a number of people interested in secure messaging in general (BTW, Yay!), far fewer were interested in participating for this particular document. I recall 4 people (other than the authors) saying they were interested in helping. 2 of those have already offered feedback, and IIRC one of them was an AD (but I could be mistaken on that part.) Once you assign (a) WG chair(s), that's not many participants left to do the work.

I would think that we might get a few more security folks from the outset as opposed to getting *additional* input from security folks during IETF LC when they do the SecDIR review.  Again, I realize that with Russ as a author, there likely will not be issues. But, I still think broader input from the security community isn't a bad thing.
