Right. There have always been unstructured discussions about these issues,
and IETF participants are pretty sharp about them (as Brad wrote).

In fact, crossing the line on this front is a quick way to make sure
everyone ignores you.

I think a brief document to add to the Note Well is fine. I doubt the
current approach would be easy to explain to a regulator as a "program",
even though it is effective.
