Between the "first individual submission upload" and any "advance to
WGLC" is a slider with a thumb [1] for "wg adoption" somewhere along
the track.  Whether that thumb is closer to first upload or closer to
WGLC seems to vary by working group and by topic/document.

If part of a document has broad consensus and part does not, there are
still several ways forward -- many of which seem to have been
mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
