It seems quite clear to me that RFC 2418 does not apply at all to the
output of an RG. From a process and consensus building standpoint,
this last call needs to be treated the same as an individual
submission, not WG output. RGs are not required to maintain the level
of openness, minutes, etc that WGs do. Thus, they don't get the
presumption of consensus that a WG does and the comments in 2418 about
last calls do not apply. Even if a particular RG is open, it's still
not a WG; just as we would expect input from an external organization
to be treated through the individual process regardless of the
openness of that organization, we should do the same for IRTF output.
