    <p>Maybe the co-chairs could use the discussion at the meeting to
      list the issues that need to be addressed. Then each of those
      issues could be addressed independently, either on the list or
      with changes to the proposed policy. After all of them have been
      addressed, there can be another call for consensus. I don't know
      whether that call would require another meeting, or be another
      Last Call.</p>
