I doubt a WG chair would make a decision that the WG didn't like, but I 
wasn't focusing on who "approves".

My main point was that the IETF (Wg chair, WG - whatever) doesn't 
appoint (that is unilateral, and authors/editors can always decline); 
they "invite" or "approve", however you prefer to view it.
