misbehaves needs to be removed. The debate is about the mechanics - whether
those indirect through effects of action from the ombudsteam, indirect via
their recommendation, or more direct.

I just wanted to confirm that the IESG talked about the "recommendation to
remove" seriously, and IIRC, we couldn't figure out WHO the Ombudsteam
would make a recommendation to, much less what they might say.

It seemed cleaner to me, to say "the community already has an
IETF-consensus way to remove anyone in I-star leadership using a recall,
why not use that, instead of coming up with some other mechanism after IETF
Last Call?"

I am open to the possibility that this was the wrong answer. I've been
wrong before.

I look forward to understanding what people think better than I do today.
