you mean the authors, and not chairs, right?
it seems reasonable to me that the authors either work to resolve the 
issues that caused non-consensus, or abandon the policy.  which are two 
of the regular outcomes from a policy submission (the third being 
consensus)

either way, that’s an _author_ choice, and not a _co-chair_ ruling.
