Thank you for your correction :)

And correct me if I'm wrong :), but the same also applies to the IETF 
Working Group as neither WG nor chairs of WG make decisions about 
documents going to standard or experimental status, instead they make 
recomendation to IESG which is the ultimate decision maker on status 
of IETF documents and which is supposed to make these decisions based on 
both recomendation of the WG and based on comments received from other 
IETF participants during last call for the documents.
