As a co-author of an individual draft, I have more freedom to continue to develop the draft into the right direction.  It is very much an inflection point to move the draft out of author control to WG control.  I believe we do need to know whether the co-authors agree that this point actually has been reached, from their point of view as well.  Now, if a co-author has already asked for WG adoption, this is redundant information, but for other co-authors it may not be.
