Some of this may be a terminology issue...

Do you think that a WG chair should be allowed to hold a document
(i.e. not submit it to the IESG) while the chair seeks sufficient
cross-area review?  Or do you think that a chair is obligated to
send a document to the IESG as soon as the WG has consensus to 
do so, even if, it is the opinion of the chair that the document 
requires more cross-area review before it is ready to advance?

If we give the chair responsibility for obtaining sufficient
cross-area review, then we also have to give him the authority
to hold the document (even one that has WG consensus) until the
cross-area review is completed, don't you think?

Margaret
