But that, IMO, takes us into a much more difficult place.  While
Jay is entitled to his personal opinions --and I have found they
are usually useful to listen to-- the moment the IETF Executive
Director starts making decisions about what is, or is not,
appropriate on [e-mail], we are, again IMO, halfway down
the slippery slops toward the LLC regulating and interfering in
the standards process.

YMMD and obviously does, but I wish you would avoid explicitly
identifying yourself as a WG Chair when you express them,
something that normally implies giving your position extra
weight.
