The consensus was determined based on a few positive responses, a few
private email exchanges, a few hallway discussions during the last IETF
and not even a single negative response.  It was first proposed by Don
on 4/15 and we have not heard a single person on the list saying that it
is a bad idea so far including the ADs who supported the idea as soon as
they heard about it.

Note that consensus is always determined on the mailing list so the WG
not having had a face to face meeting has nothing to do with the
consensus.

Sure.  The current editors are planning to submit it as an individual
draft and we will circulate the idea on the list again before we accept
it as a WG draft.

Steve already replied to the list about this.

We went through the same discussions while making a decision about the
unified MIB and all the same arguments apply to the unified protocol
document.
