I would have no problem changing "commit" to "propose" as you suggest below. I expect PF would not object to that. PF certainly does not intend to assert authority to edit any other Wg's documents. While the intent of a joint TF is to develop mutually satisfactory solutions, it is still the exclusive responsibility of each Wg to agree on and effect its own edits.
