By now, I'm hoping that the IESG has enough public and private feedback on this topic to do the right thing (whatever that is, and yes, I also have an opinion about what the IESG should be doing, which I'm not including here). Do we need to say more? If not, perhaps we could wait for the IESG to respond, and then do the right thing from our end, if needed. If we do need to say more, by all means, keep typing...
