  ^^^^ I think you wanted to say "a policy" because the previous
sentence talks about "some policy".

... but in the the spirit and understanding of many here. nevermind.
1. Technically the text does not any changes are allowed (others have
   shown this).
2. more importantly: Technically, this last call period is here for a
purpose (do you agree?), and that is to give opportunity to mailing list
members to voice objection to the conclusions at the meeting.
I hope you can see that this is exactly what is happening.
You should now argue that co-chairs should ignore all discussions during
last-call.

do you mean "whole community" - in general consensus?

Is this a good time to ask what the benefit to the community is (or will
be)?
I sure believe that some PDWG members will benefit, because they profit
from IP transfers.
But I prefer these not to be counted as "community benefits".

Thanks,
