The example I assure you are referring to was one in which commitments to sign had been collected and it was clear that the recall process would be initiated if the individual involved did not resign, but he did. I'm aware of another case or two in which it was made clear to the person involved that signature commitments were being collected and that led to a change in behavior and/or a resignation. At no point was the ISOC President handed petitions and asked to hand them to the Secretariat for verification and to appoint a Recall Committee Chair. More important to Brian's point about confidentiality, you didn't read quite far enough. The paragraph immediately after the one you quoted (from RFC 7437) reads: "The petition and its signatories must be announced to the IETF community." Since the petition has to disclose the justification for the recall and that petition has to be announced, confidentiality about the target and the issue is, as far as I can tell, public at that point. Whether the situation can be kept private during the signature-gathering process is an issue of things that can be kept secret at the earlier stage if 20 people with no obligation of secrecy know about it is interesting, but not ultimately important. I suppose the Secretariat could "announce" the petition by saying "Lo, a petition has been received and here are the people who signed it" without disclosing either the target name or the justification, but I'd guess the community would have a lot of trouble with that. At a minimum, I'd assume there would be an immediate effort to find out who gave the Secretariat those instructions followed by an appeal. So, referring back to my earlier note, the recall process lacks confidentiality about what is going on (although not about the Recall Committee's investigation once it starts), is guaranteed to be slow enough to cause damage to the community and the successful functioning of the IESG, and generally is not appropriate (at least without modification) to a situation in which the Ombudsteam has already investigated the situation, found that there was a problem, tried to cure the problem through discussion and counseling, concluded that it has failed, and concluded that significant restrictions or removal from a position are appropriate. best, john
