Sorry, which decision is that supposed to be?

Right, neither of these two documents are adopted as working group documents. And perhaps a more correct phrasing above would be that "The working group session in Singapore ended with what appeared to be a view that work could continue on both of these documents".

Which process are you talking about? Is that documented in an RFC?
You seem to take it on yourself to represent the "rest of the wg participants", but from my perspective it looks like a few very loud voices.
Perhaps we should let others speak up, if there is anything more to be said on this topic.
