No. I am quite used to seeing drafts completely transformed during their
passage through a consensus-building process. It's happened often enough
to drafts I've written and I've helped do it to many other people's
drafts. I have been to various RIR meetings over the years and have never
noticed people being reluctant to challenge proposals from the RIR leadership.
I have no discomfort at all with this process.
