I agree with Chuck's statement. Let's see what we get from the public and refine/change as needed.

Malcolm,

A consensus call was not made as far as I am aware, nor do I think that we are ready for one.  There is really too much work still to be done to do a consensus call; in my opinion, it would be very difficult for most groups to make a clear decision in terms of support until more details are worked and questions answered.  But I do think it is a good time to get public input so we can find out whether the high level proposal on the table now is going in a direction that is constructive; that will help us refine it or if need be change direction where needed.

This question is now extremely urgent.

Do the organisers consider there is a consensus? To my mind that's a clear "No", but it's not for me to call it.

If not, do they still planning to go ahead and solicit community consensus for a document that doesn't even command consensus amongst the committee that prepared it?

If it's not being published tomorrow as the CWG's draft proposal, are we setting a new target date to have a consensus on the CWG?
