There's a few steps Paul is missing in his summary of the process.

The concerns were discussed at the meeting in London.  The chairs
reviewed 3 separate issues.  The first was agreed upon that a simple
wording change that was not significant to hold up for approval was
made.  No change was needed with one of the other issues.  With the
third, the room was in full agreement that this should be done in a
separate draft.  I went to the mic and summarized this and asked for
agreement that it was ok to approve the document as a result and there
was no opposition, just agreement.

It was right of the chairs to put this back out to the list for
confirmation as they have the ability to pull a document back if they
decide that is the right course of action.

The AD can also override the chairs if they decide it should go
forward and the AD does not agree (although I don't see that in his
messages).
