This is the case.  Although I felt we had made progress in a
particular direction we had not tested that progress with a proposal.
Sometimes, people really react to something in writing in a way that
didn't trigger them in discussion.

In any case good process should never feel to any participant that
something was slipped past them by a process technicality.  Consensus
is about agreement both in a technical/process sense and an emotional
sense, but the important part is that everyone agrees (or stands
aside) fully.
