Re: [saag] [Ietf-http-auth] Next step on web phishing draft (draft-hartman-webauth-phishing-05.txt)

I object to this procedure.

This document has already had an IETF Last Call, where it failed to
achieve consensus. At this point, it doesn't need additional last
calls to "make sure that people agree with Sam", but rather to go back
to the authors to try to build support in the community. Not liking
the result of the previous Last Call is not a sufficient basis for
issuing another one.

At some point in the future, it may be appropriate to issue another
consensus call, but since this is not a WG mailing list--indeed, the
IESG has twice declined to charter a WG in this area--nor are you the
chair, it doesn't seem to me that you have standing to do that. When
that time comes, I would expect the IESG to designate an appropriate
time and place.

I agree with EKR here.  Failed consensus is failed consensus.  RFC 2026 
does not support the process that has been recommended here.
