We are seeing a solid pattern to suggest that U.S. reading skills have declined
seriously.

Sorry but I'm Canadian, Eh, so don't blame the US. Besides, as Spencer correctly points out, my writing is worse than many ESL people.


I neither expressed nor implied any opinion at all about your questions, except that they are out of scope for the query being made by the IAOC and that any
pursuit of your questions ought to be done *separately*.

By "separately" you mean doing something like changing the subject line? But on to the serious answer ....

As an IESG member, I was aware the IAOC was considering a meeting in China before the IAOC announced it on a public list. I felt that I should not discuss it as an individual contributor on a a public list until the IAOC made the topic public. To my knowledge this query from the IAOC was the first time it had been made public so I brought up the issues at the first point in time available. I'm not sure what else you would have suggested I do to ask for information that I think is important.

The question from the IAOC, as far as I can read it, asks if we are OK with having the meeting be canceled for everyone if one person discuss various under specified things that includes topics that are illegal in China. It seems to me the questions of if our normal discussions are illegal or not is very relevant to making that decision.
