Go to one of them if that's what you want. One of the things to talk about here is the issue of voting versus a coin toss. The advantage of a coin toss is that nobody can say it was gamed, because it's random—there is no process to blame if it doesn't go your way. Voting, however, is somewhat predictable, and can be gamed. So the concern is that if the working group has consensus to vote, it's probably because interested parties have some reason to believe the vote will go their way. They may be horribly mistaken, or they may be correct—that isn't the point. The point is that they aren't actually okay with the outcome not going their way. So if the working group is willing to agree to a vote, and unwilling to agree to a coin toss, that says something _very important_ about the status of consensus in the working group.
