If you check the record you will find that at least in past years the TAG took formal votes quite often, usually to establish that consensus had been reached e.g. to publish a document or to provide formal feedback to some other group or organization. These are often recorded in the minutes in this form: RESOLUTION: xxxx It is true that the TAG doesn't typically vote on more detailed aspects of its work, e.g. whether a given section of a draft document should be accepted as 'status quo' or whether some technical direction seems a good one. Still, at least until recently the TAG did not "speak as the TAG" without a formal check by the chair that consensus had been achieved, or failing that, objections noted. I don't know whether that custom is still being observed. Noah
