Huh?  What's the complaint here?  That you weren't there?  Or in the
committee?  Or that a committee (or WG, or whatever) was involved?
Why bother standardizing anything if there are to be no
committees/WGs?  How would we do that?  Would there be SDOs that only
rubber-stamp standards proposals brought to them but which can make no
changes to those proposals, just yay/nay?

wat?   First you complain about someone having a monopoly, but then
you say that as long as it's the same people that developed some other
related standard it's OK?  But then... you're asking for a monopoly
and thus contradicting yourself.

If you have comments on proposals, or as to how to improve existing
standards, then state them.  If you want a different process to apply
to standardization of JSON Schema, well, say so, but this is the IETF,
and the IETF process will apply at the IETF.  If you want to change
the IETF process then make proposals to that effect.
