It's within scope. It's an objection to the current MODPOD draft. The
chairs do not have authority to censor this objection.

Censorship and other forms of evading the objection are _disrupting_ the
following mandated WG procedure from RFC 2418: "Disputes are possible at
various stages during the IETF process. As much as possible the process
is designed so that compromises can be made, and genuine consensus
achieved; however, there are times when even the most reasonable and
knowledgeable people are unable to agree. To achieve the goals of
openness and fairness, such conflicts must be resolved by a process of
open review and discussion."

Please name the "dedicated mailing list" that you're talking about, and
please quote the IETF _policy_ that you claim imposes this requirement.
Thanks in advance.
