The SAA team is looking for suggestions if it is okay to remove Internet Society; as it is difficult to judge if something is ISOC sponsored/endorsed [1]. Thoughts?

That goes too far. People legitimately announce side meetings, sometimes even design team meetings, that are of interest to the community but are not formally "sponsored or endorsed". These days, such meetings are no longer limited to the "side" of a face to face meeting, so could come any time, and ietf@ is really the only list we have for that. In any case, the SAAs already have discretion if someone oversteps.

Take this legislation too far and the only option will be alt.ietf (for all I know, that already exists).
