Hi folks,

I think it's a mistake to overindex on trying to minimize the power of the
secretariat here. Remember that these are just tools we use to develop our
drafts and the secretariat *already* controls the tools we use to do our
official work (the mailing list, drafts repo, data tracker). For that
reason, I believe having them do this work as much as practical increases
our overall efficiency without incurring undue risk.
