The draft proposes changes to Section 7.1 of RFC 7437.  My reading of 
the previous discussions (excluding your comments) is that the 
requirement for a statement of justification may have been missed as 
the focus was on who can sign or how many signatories are needed.

I was not arguing for or against being able to take statements.  The 
draft does not change the operation of the recall committee such as 
the investigation.  I don't know the practice for the investigation 
as the recall process has never gone beyond the "attempt to get 
signatories" stage since 1996.

I suggest reading Section 5.1 of RFC 7776; the section allows the 
Recall Committee process to be invoked.  Would what you mentioned be 
applicable for it?
