Which of the above messages should not be taken into account for the decision?

If the Chairs were not allowed to drive the group towards consensus, 
there wouldn't be any soft-landing policy.

I read the meeting comments for AFPUB-2016-V4-001-DRAFT-02 and 
AFPUB-2016-V4-002-DRAFT01.  I do not have any way to verify whether 
the minutes are accurate.  Is a recording of the meeting publicly available?

It is easy to tell a person to write a draft policy and get consensus 
on it.  It is improbable that there will be consensus when there is 
too much conflict within the group.
