I believe I've thought this through in detail.

If you want to provide more oversight, and more input, and I heartily
encourage that, then please do so. I strongly believe more eyes would
help. But I don't believe that having Kevin remain as co-chair would
help: certainly not.

Rather, in the event no action were taken and he did not resign or be
removed, I believe the wider security community would simply consider
CFRG unfit for purpose, and would not be willing to engage. (More than
one individual has outright said this.)

I do not think that outcome would assist anyone, and it would prevent
us being able to use this RG as a base for providing review of
primitives, protocols and implementations, which needs to be done as
an important step in the long road to address the perpass threat.
