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.
