I was pretty sure I hadn't seen the result of the survey on the list and 
- to be blunt - it needed to be there if for no other reason than to 
memorialize the information.  As the IETF has noted time and again, 
decisions are made on the mailing list, not in working group meetings.   
Meeting presentations are generally ephemera (even more so than IDs), 
and that limits at least my reliance on them.

All that said, the WG chairs get to decide which documents are WG 
documents (through the determination of consensus), but only within the 
constraints of the model the WG has agreed upon (RFC 7221 section 2.2 
basically).  Up to this point, adoption has been by discussion on the 
mailing list.  A change to that should probably be discussed before 
being implemented.

However, going back to the original issue: There was a disconnect that 
could have been avoided here.  The mail message implied/said that the 
poll was for adoption.  The poll header said something different - that 
it was to select the first 2-3 to be sent out for call for adoption.  
The actual poll question asked which documents to adopt now.   I read 
the mail message, and jumped into the poll without reading the header 
and read the poll question only.   It took me this last message 
re-reading things to understand that probably what you thought Tim said 
is not what I heard.  I have this suspicion reading Ted and Brian's 
messages that they got to the same place as I did.

E.g. The poll question should have read: "For the following documents, 
when should DNSOP send out Calls for Adoption?" with "Now" and "Not Yet, 
if ever" and "Never" rather than "Adopt Now" etc.   Alternately, using 
the same question you used in the prior survey (Important, Not 
Important, Indifferent) might have given you the info you needed to 
prioritize.

Tim should have probably followed his earlier inclination and just sent 
out the six adoption calls.

Later, Mike
