All I am asking is the IESG be consistent about how they judge consensus on 
this and if they decide to publish it, provide some guidance on when they think 
it is fine to not have security and when they think it is not fine.

A poorly constructed hum taken by the IAB Chair at an IAB plenary meeting does not constitute IETF consensus. The IESG has not judged consensus on the topics brought up at that plenary.

You will note that there is an Internet Draft (draft-farrell-perpass-attack) currently in Last Call for Best Current Practice that is being discussed on the IETF list. Some of the discussion indicates that the IETF does not have consensus on all of the issues. That's being worked through now. The outcome of that Last Call *will* be a case of the IESG judging consensus on those topics.

If you have an opinion on the draft in Last Call, how it will affect the judgment on the AVT draft, and whether it needs clarification in order to be useful, I'm sure your input would be appreciated.
