@djb Of *course* it's fabricated because my point is that or something like that is what one would say to object to the charter. And as you should well know by now- you're not new at this- one AD doesn't make a decision on a charter, but rather it's the entire IESG. That's another protection against CoI. And even right now, you can comment to the entire IESG up until the 15th, after which it will be discussed on the 19th. Details at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-sshm/ballot/.
