Clarifying question #1:

If there is consensus among the Editors, are the Editors empowered to record a
decision where there is dissent?

https://www.w3.org/2020/Process-20200915/#managing-dissent

Clearly, any decision recorded with dissent will almost certainly be escalated
to the CCG Chairs for a final decision.

Clarifying question #2:

If the person organizing the call isn't an Editor, do they have any ability to
determine consensus, manage dissent, or record a decision where there is dissent?

In other words, are Editors the only people empowered to run calls now and
record RESOLUTIONs in a work item group?

If the answer is "yes", then what happens to all of the past resolutions
recorded by non-Editors?

If the answer is "no", then is an Organizer chosen by the work item group
empowered to run calls and record RESOLUTIONs in a work item group?

Clarifying question #3:

Are people allowed to bypass the discussion process in a Work Item Group and
go directly to the Chairs for a decision. Adrian and Orie's recent requests
seem to be doing this (setting a dangerous precedent -- an appeal to authority
that bypasses the consensus process in the work item group).
