In the third place there are no rules of order here. The IETF

I know. Thats why I used the term "process check", and pointed out the
need for consensus. We know what he means without your technicalities on
Roberts Rules of Order, which as you point out, don't apply. The IETF does
have a process of moving drafts to last call.
Chris can raise the issue in last call. And then the chairs
decide on what the consensus of the group is and write a little note
to answer the various objections raised.
WG Chair's announced intention to proceed to 'last call' on Sender-ID
within a few days. One might consider that Chris has raised his objection
for the Chairs to consider. Since the technical problems are so plain and
numerous, it seems to be a waste of time to go to last call.
