Let me give just two examples:

The message at

is from 2016. The discussion predates the current pandemic.
A good amount of work, especially design teams became a lot more
open in reaction to USA EAR politics.
I haven't looked into that.
Do mean that Area Directors are unable to consider a perspective
which is contrary to IETF dogma?
