Hi Julien,
I think that there is some misunderstanding regarding what is
happening. Harald Alvestrand is not in charge of an IETF PR-action
process, and he has no official role in this process.
Harald is attempting to assemble information that he will use to
propose a PR-action (a "Posting Rights" action), as described in RFC
3683. Once he has assembled this information, he will presumably use
the information to persuade a member of the IESG (an AD) to sponsor
this action. That AD would then be in charge of running a fair and
open process to decide whether or not Jefsey Morphin's posting rights
should be revoked.
If Harald finds an AD who will sponsor this action, then the process
described in RFC 3683 would be followed. That process includes an
IETF Last Call period, during which any member of the community may
comment on the action. After that, the IESG would make a decision on
the action using the usual consensus-based process. Like all IESG
decisions, that decision is also subject to appeal. This is all
described quite clearly in RFC 3683.
Harald is not required to be impartial in this effort, any more than
a document author is required to be impartial in garnering support
for his own technical work. It is the AD's job to make sure that the
process of evaluating the PR-action is run fairly.
If an AD does decide to sponsor this PR-action, there will be an
explicit opportunity for the community to comment on this action (the
IETF LC) before a decision is made regarding it.
