I think consensus has to be more than 3 people in a working group.

Oh I don't agree and I have the mail archives from this discourse.

No and no one "at this point" is arguing they should per the discussion
on the mail list.  The debate now is the wording around in-band key
management.

I think we that are concerned are now on IPsec and I am just responding.
to the To: and cc: lines.

>Seems to me to be the pot calling the kettle black.

Not really on this one Bill.  Face it, the wording as is about key
management is enough to raise a very big issue to the IESG and I intend
to do so if it comes across my mail inbox for last call.  The only
reason I am responding now is because you and Perry have been responding
to me.  I will be glad to get out of the loop because my mind is made
up, unless I see a change in wording.  It will be for the IESG to decide
and not the working group I guess.
