Dear colleagues,

This is the second time that the IAB has issued a statement
Speaking only (empahtically only) for myself, I quite strongly
disagree. The IAB has issued no statement in this case.
The text as posted is quite clear:
---%<---cut here---
"The leaders of organizations … have met"
[…]
Russ Housley, Chair
Internet Architecture Board (IAB)

That does not say that the IAB has issued a statement. On the
contrary, the IAB did not issue a statement. I think the difference
between some individuals issuing a statement in their capacity as
chairs and CEOs and so on, and the body for which they are chair or
CEO or so on issuing a similar statement, is an important one. We
ought to attend to it.
Please note that this message is not in any way a comment on such
leadership meetings. In addition, for the purposes of this discussion
I refuse either to affirm or deny concurrence in the IAB chair's
statement. I merely request that we, all of us, attend to the difference
between "the IAB Chair says" and "the IAB says".
Best regards,
A
