MPs and such often speak publicly for themselves while using their membership of whatever august/lame body they are members of, yet no one mistakes their speech for that of the larger body. Since the IAB does not speak for the community, ISTM that the only ones with authority to object are the IAB itself, and maybe its chartering authority. That doesn't mean that IETF participants can't object to IAB members using their IAB membership as a credential, but it does deny those objections weight. Cheers, Nico --
