It may also be helpful for us to note as part of that chat, that the
current approval gating for Informational docs like this one happens to be
(as given in https://www.ietf.org/iesg/voting-procedures.html).

"For an Informational, Experimental, or Historic document, approval
requires one Yes with no Discuss votes. The IESG secretary will refer to
the ballot during the telechat, but there will not be a poll of ADs who
have not posted a ballot position. If there are no Discuss ballot
positions, the Secretariat will ask, "Does any AD object to this document
being published?" If an AD raises an objection, a Discuss position must be
posted at that time."

If Ben was still a Yes and all the rest of us Abstained, the document would
be approved.

Is that what we think should happen?

Curiously yours,

Spencer
