A Working Draft does not require consensus, and it seems like this one has a lot of support, and does meet the "at least 3 independent contributors" standard. In general, for an FPWD resolution with some objections but also significant support, the chairs could proceed in one of several ways: 1) Ask objectors (either privately or publicly) to consider withdrawing their objections. 2) Ask for revisions to the draft that would remove objections -- that's assuming any of the objectors have described changes that would remove their objection. 3) Decide to proceed notwithstanding objections. 4) Decide to hold off and raise the matter again in the future. Currently we have two objections that have not been withdrawn. Regards, Maciej
