I think you are accusing the community selected committee members of
malfeasance. At least now we are clear on where we stand.

We have advanced No BCP or standards track document to describe
requirements or procedures for the operation of remote participation nor
should we IMHO unless:

We view it as a core function of the IETF activiity.

It is mature enough that the thing we describe is neither obsoleted or
overtaken by events or at least is not focused on the technology and
method of delivery before the document is published.
