So there's a difference between what is an umbrella and what is under the 
umbrella even if what is covered is completely constrained.

So what happens when the LLC decides that it's going to delegate all 
meeting venue responsibility? Do we do a bis on this document so people 
aren't confused?

At this point I don't think I can answer your question anymore to your 
satisfaction than I already have. We clearly disagree on the value of the 
proposed change. I'm happy to leave it at that.

you could just remove the details and say "according to BCP 101" which will 
automatically be updated once 4071 is updated.

I'm not following you here. on one hand you're saying let's get the details 
right and there's no rush, on the other hand you're saying let's not wait 
until the details are solidified.

I'm also fine with not rushing this - but cramming this into Auth48 
certainly seems like that is the intent, and what triggered me to send mail 
in the first place. (Together with being one of the original authors of 
this document.)

so change the text to say the appeals process defined in BCP 101 and we're 
done.

Well that would certainly be an interesting precedent.

I think I've reached my process limit on this discussion, and will step 
back and see where things fall on this without my further input on the topic.
