I agree with what Dave Crocker and John Klensin wrote (re. the two messages on the thread). The public record does not show that there were responses to the questions which were raised. The policy might be viewed as being dictated instead of one which people have understood and have agreed to.
Just out of curiosity, what happens if the organization is unable to come to consensus on an anti-harassment policy? One of the problems that I think we're facing and that we're not dealing with is that consensus processes are not a very good way to protect the rights of the minority, marginalized, etc. This should not be construed as an endorsement of the IESG going off and unilaterally developing a policy without much input from the body, but I am saying we've got a problem around this kind of thing.
