Are you claiming he is lying about his hat being off?
That would seem to be a claim requiring evidence.
Or are you asking that we change the long standing practice of allowing
our leadership to also participate as individuals in our work?
Are you saying that he should inform us of what the other IESG members
said to him in informal conversation? (I sure hope not, but that seems
to be what you are asking regarding why this isn't coming from the IESG.)
Or are you asserting or requesting something else that I am unable to
understand from your emails?
Yours,
Joel

Joe, I do not follow your reasoning.
Barry is stating that he has talked to some of his fellow IESG members about the draft. He probably also talked to people that are not on the IESG.
He is also telling us that the IESG has not agreed to this or adopted it in any formal fashion. And that he is bringing it forward as a member of the community.
Those seem to be factual statements.
As is the fact that I reject his claim of “hat off”.
I do not thing we should condone this sort of “under the radar” approach; if he's on the IESG, why isn’t this coming from the IESG? (The same goes for other docs similarly written by IESG members “as individuals”).
Notably, these sort of docs have been either about IETF process (like this) or even specific to the area of an IESG member (as with Mirja’s on system ports).
