This document is informational, so the reader needs to know who is
responsible for such policy, as any policy in any_organisation/IETF should
have a way of control or responsibility noticed. The key_recommend_section
within the draft gives recommendations but I did not know if I should (as
all participants) be responsible  for such anti-trust, or one person or
two, etc.

the most important discus_ones are the IESG conversations which may be
affected by the related policy, IMHO this policy is related to organisation
managements not staff or participants.

The authors need to decide to not ignore such important information the
reader may want to know. However, I don't think it is a bad idea to give
information about responsibilities within IETF, and if no one/some are
responsible I think it will be good to add as information to the reader to
understand.
