There seems to be consensus on a single proposal, even though the poll
was about multiple proposals.

Given your deep involvment as a participant in this poll, and the fact
that this WG has a co-chair who has not been deeply involved with this
poll, I'd much rather that your co-chair (Tom) make any and all
decisions that WG chairs can make regarding such polls.  If Tom is not
available then let's find out when he might be -- that might make a
reasonable deadline, else we might have a process problem.
