Hi,

I share most of the concerns raised by my co-ADs.

What I'd really like to see is some clarifications added such that it is clear
that these recommandations are not for all IETF WGs. There is a sentence which
aims at stating that:
   The requirements here apply to the case where Working Groups decide
   to use GitHub as a primary means of interaction.
But in fact before that one can also read:
   The intent is to allow each Working Group ...
and after that:
   Each Working Group SHOULD create ...
   Each Working Group MAY ...
plus many occurrences of "Working Groups" (plural).

To resolve the ambiguity may be you could do:
   The intent is to allow a Working Group considerable flexibility in how it
   uses GitHub. The Working Group SHOULD create its own new organisation. The
   Working Group MAY ...

And/or maybe reinforce the first sentence by clarifying that, in the rest of
the document, "Working Groups" refer to working groups which have decided to
use GitHub.
