They're not only empowered to shut people down, they also operate without transparency or real accountability. When the SAA is found to have grossly exceeded their authority under 3005 (which does appear to have been the case), and the IETF leadership doesn't immediately address this problem, it undermines trust in the organization and the leadership. And all of this is taking place in the broader context of an effort, apparently endorsed by some of the leadership, to promote censorship of IETF input for arbitrary reasons. To say this is chilling is a tremendous understatement. I am looking for some sign that leadership takes these problems seriously and will rectify them. So far what I see looks like efforts to sweep them under a rug. Keith
