Using modern terminology, this consisted of "resolve," "then," "accept," and "flatMap" (monads+promises, for short). The outcome of that meeting was that the DOM would proceed with standardizing the subset of AP2 that it needs, namely "resolve" and "then" (promises, for short).

For whatever the history is worth, this is also not my recollection of
the consensus in May. In particular, in May my memory is that we
decided on a _single_ constructor (ie, not both of "resolve" and
"accept"), and that there wasn't any discussion or consensus for DOM
to do something else.
