Yes. But the confidential information that it should have is precisely the confidential information that would motivate this policy.

And unlike an authoritarian government, they did include us in the process, and have been remarkably patient and transparent in engaging with the community on it.

And, the policies that they shouldn't control, they don't.  The IESG can't tell us what to publish.  If they do, we have an appeals process, and a nomcom process.  Indeed, if we are really offended by this new policy, we can try to throw the bums out in the next nomcom.  But I don't think "we, the IETF" actually are.  The squeaky wheels are, and that's as it should be, but one hopes that they aren't the only ones who provide nomcom with feedback.
