Ian made his decision already, which is why this was an issue and an associated change proposal(s). Maciej is attempting to determine consensus with one change proposal. There is one objection to one specific label being used (summary), but since there are other naming options, and no one is really expressing an interest in that name, not including this as a name option shouldn't block consensus. Of the remaining options, if we continue to have consensus with the approach used (two new elements), then yes, Ian could pick among the other, non-contested names. Isn't this a correct understanding, co-chairs? Shelley Shelley
