Re: Last Call: 'Alternative Decision Making Processes for Consensus-blocked Decisions in the IETF' to Experimental RFC

might be better as:
   In no way should this experiment or any future BCP for this small
   number of cases take precendence over the IETF's normal mode of
   operation. Specifically, these procedures are only to be
   used when a working group agrees to use them.

Define "agrees".  When a WG is blocked on consensus for a technical 
issue, and someone proposes using the alternative process to reach a 
decision, do you need consensus to use the alternative process? If so, 
I'm skeptical that people who have been stonewalling each other on the 
technical decision are going to agree to a process that means they don't 
get to stonewall any more.

the ID does go into a process to try to deal with this
