I'm the responsible AD for this group, so let me try to clarify.

Our objective is to have rough consensus on a way forward.  When
there wasn’t consensus on the mailing list (I agreed with the summary
posted) it is often useful to try to resolve that F2F.  In this case, the
WG met and I made it crystal clear that doing nothing is not an option
here.  Hums were taken and there was rough consensus of the people
in the room for the AEAD approach (the minutes reflect this).  But, there
are now obviously enough people who disagree on the mailing list and we
don't yet have a draft for the alternative that the F2F meeting preferred.
This is why the chairs haven't called consensus, though
I wish they had reported this back more clearly to the mailing list.

I think this has dragged on too long and I'll be meeting with the
chairs to get them to define a process for selecting a way forward.
That should happen this week and they should send something to
the list next week.  I want to see this draft in IETF LC before the
IETF 89 in March.

Specifically, RFC 2418 requires that "Decisions reached during a face-to-face meeting about topics or issues which have not been discussed on the mailing list, or are significantly different from previously arrived mailing list consensus MUST be reviewed on the mailing list."  In-person meetings exist to facilitate discussion, but they're not where decisions are finalized.
