This is what the press is saying:
"The head of the Internet's leading standards body said Thursday
that it is "misleading" for AT&T to claim that its push to
charge customers for high-priority service is technically justified.
"Internet Engineering Task Force chairman Russ Housley told
CNET that AT&T's arguments to federal regulators, which
cited networking standards to justify "paid prioritization" of
network traffic, were invalid.
""AT&T in their letter (to the Federal Communications
Commission) says the IETF envisioned this," Housley said.
"That's not my view.""

It's quite clear that Russ' remarks have been taken to mean
"the head of the IETF says payment for premium service was
never envisioned by the IETF" regardless of what he may or may
not have said.

As Russ is now invoking your message to support his view that payment for premium service is contrary to the wishes of IETF, that's a problem.
No, it really isn't. That's not what Russ said.
