Restoring subject line, as my comment is more specific to the draft, not
generally about “saying no”, but the comment made me wonder about the
level of consensus.
I’ll let the chairs speak for themselves as to how they made the
determination that it was acceptable to proceed, and similarly at WG
adoption call, but in looking back at the OpSec list archives to write
this message, I don’t view this as having particularly strong consensus
within the WG to publish. The adoption call [1] was “no objection” and
while I see reviews at adoption call, I see no strong messages of support
*or* opposition. The WGLC was actually completed on version -03, in March
of *2013* [2]. The draft is now version -07, and no new WGLC was done. The
reviews done at WGLC look to me like there were 3 or 4 in total, one of
which (mine) expressed concerns about the document proceeding (the message
is referenced in my previous message), the others mainly focused on the
document’s completeness and accuracy, not whether it was a good or bad
idea.

Like Joel, I’m not willing to go to the wall (I.e. Appeal on process
grounds) to prevent this draft from being published, but I thought that
this information might be helpful in determining how to proceed.
