2. If a resolution cannot be reached directly with the TZ Coordinator, express the concern to the community and attempt to achieve rough consensus regarding a resolution on the TZ mailing list. The Area Directors of the IETF Applications Area may at their discretion attempt to guide the members of the community to rough consensus.
Seems to me that we have failed at step 1, and that to the extent that there is any community consensus per step 2, it is against this set of changes.
I'm not convinced that there is even that much consensus. We're hearing from the objectors, but - as usual - not from those who approve or aren't affected. I'm currently unclear what the issues are, being mostly an observer rather than a significant user of the database. -- Clive D.W.
