Regardless, we must not issue a document with such absurd, ugly and ungrammatical
phrasing. It would make us a laughing stock.

Don't care. Ultimately the Trust does what the IETF tells it to do. I understand
that lawyers sometimes give very cautious advice, but it's our choice whether
we take that advice after due consideration. Making this document read absurdly
is simply not OK. Putting in some introductory legalese is OK.
