Joe,

The feedback in the room is clearly different to your conclusion, as a substantial part of the community seems to see value in an informational document but not a BCP.

It is not uncommon that authors are convinced that their document warrants a more normative status than parts of the working group. But in that case it is up to the authors to work with the WG to reach consensus. The proposed charter milestone allows that.

I do not believe that the TCPM chairs should declare rough consensus on a BCP document, in particular not at early stage. It is TCPM's tradition to try to achieve unanimous consensus.

Michael
