Which, in fairness, the IESG has documented, in the DISCUSS criteria document and generally in practice, over the last several years. The question surely is whether the IESG failed to do so in this case. > > The current case has an AD asserting a Discuss by claiming a rule that > does not exist. That's not judgment call, that's invention. I haven't seen all the email in this case, so I don't know exactly what has and hasn't been claimed as a rule. However, I'm arguing that there is scope on this particular point for concluding that there is a *technical* issue (a source of confusion, i.e. a lack of clarity). That may or may not be a valid conclusion. However, one of the two DISCUSS comments points out that at least 3 of the domains used are real ones. So the issue of confusion is a real one. What I am saying is: these DISCUSSes are about a technical issue. They may or may not be reasonable, but I object to the suggestion that they are stylistic or editorial (which would automatically make them out of scope under the IESG's own document). > Even better is that application of this invented rule on a revision to > an established standard represents an orientation towards change that is > de-stabliling rather than helpful.
