I do not believe we can call for consensus on this question at this meeting.

We _do_ need to have the technical discussions.

I am planning to take the sense of the room using the questions that have
already been published. These are not going to make a decision on their
own, but may help with reading consensus when we do make that call.

I do expect the working group to have this consensus call soon. As the 
chairs
have mentioned earlier in the thread, we hope to make this call on the 
list in
the next few weeks, ->well before the IETF87 meeting in Berlin<-. We 
understand
there needs to be some lead time.
