First, note the Subject line: an IETF Last-Call on a Working Group
document _isn't_ asking for IETF Consensus: it's simply a last-call for
comments on an action proposed by a Working Group.
I'm quite confused by this opinion. *No* IETF Last Call announcements, even
those for standards track documents, say that they are to determine IETF
consensus, yet IETF consensus is required for many of these documents. In your
view, how are we to know which IETF Last Call announcements are to determine
IETF consensus and which are just to bring additional input to the IESG for a
non-consensus decision? Or are you saying that the IESG determines IETF
consensus using metrics other than the discussion on ietf@?
Again, the community knowing what type of response would be productive during
IETF Last Call would help everyone set their priorities better.
