Rich,

> If you don't think moderation CAN be a tool of control, I can only assume you have zero contact with social or online media.

Your assumption is incorrect, but I think that drawing an analogy between the advertising systems known as "social media" and IETF discussion mechanisms is totally false and harmfully irrelevant.

That's all I have to add.

I am sure any IETF Chair will have the best intentions.  As for how I think it should be picked?  Nope, not gonna try to design something in an email thread.

The next sentence says "The moderator team's criteria and processes SHALL be developed with community input..." Probably we should add that the IESG will judge whether there's rough consensus.

The best you folks could come up with is a draft that specifies something created top-down which has large influence over all IETF online communication, and ignores the fact that working groups have different working styles and wide latitude to do what they want in favor of uniformity.
