According to my understanding of the process, the whole idea of having
the final comment period on the mailing list is to confirm if it is
really okay to go ahead with the meeting consensus. If there are
substantial objections on the mailing list, the meeting consensus can be
reversed.

I understand you have a different opinion over whether the objections on
the mailing list was "substantial", but this is just a difference in our
opinions. I can't declare consensus when I believe more discussions are
needed.
I'm sure your opinion on the mailing list will be reviewed by the EC
too, so why don't we leave it upto the EC to make the final decision?
