No. It's a valid argument against having votes in an open forum with no membership criteria. When we use consensus, it is fairly clear how to handle things if/when impostors try to interfere in WG decision-making. When the interlopers have votes...

To repeat what I said before, consensus has served us well so far. There's no reason to stop using that approach. If this later turns out to be a mistake, we can deal with that once it's clear what has gone wrong and what would be the best way to fix it. What's been proposed is "good enough" -- perhaps with a little tweaking to deal with the nits that have been found. IMO I hope this WG can avoid inventing a lot of (unnecessary) complexity and process. The case for going down that path has yet to be established.
