It would be significantly more useful if you, as chair and the caller of the (apparently rough) consensus summarized the issue, explained what you took the objection to be, and told us what you saw as the replies to those objections that convinced you that WG had properly considered the issue and that there was (rough) WG consensus to go with the text you ended up with. Then folks who think you called it wrong can explain the essential point they think you missed when you made that call. Having the rest of us re-create your evaluation of the consensus by reading 672 messages is, at best, inefficient.

Thanks for the suggestion. Ole will be working on summarizing the WG discussion. I also want to point out the IESG statement on IETF Last Calls at https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/last-call-guidance.html <https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/last-call-guidance.html> which states

"If substantive discussion of a technical comment is needed, it is often appropriate to move that discussion to the WG list, once the comment has been made on the IETF list. "

I think the comment(s) under question fall(s) under that category. For this reason, I would like to loop the 6man WG mailing list into this discussion going forward.

Regards
Suresh
