You're absolutely right that other countries can come to different conlusions on the ENSO status (though I only know of one right now: Japan).  The main reason for this is that we all have different thresholds with respect to ENSO.  Why is that?  ENSO is a very complex phenomenon that cannot be simply distilled to one number and impacts each country differently.  In our ENSO guidebook we're "cool-neutral" at the moment, but one of the main reasons we dropped the watch is because we're favoring Neutral in the near future.  I just updated the ENSO blog with a new post that provides some more info on why we made that decision, so check it out:

... and, as always, forecasters will update our consensus outlook next month when the new round of data comes rolling in.  This is a borderline situation, which is one of the hardest forecasts to make (in contrast 2015 was easy as pie because the El Nino was so strong and obvious).
