As I stated before, the author of the document did not engage in the
discussion nor has the author done any work to the document to address any
of the concerns raised.

So I'll ask again, what specifically do you, the chairs, intend to do to

No, it is not fine as the author has not engaged in the discussion.

So then, any document that comes before the working group shall be
accepted? Is that the new criteria?
