This assertion (which you've raised before) doesn't seem to serve what I 
suspect your goals are very well.

Based on this statement and similar statements you've made elsewhere, it 
looks like you're trying to assert that there is no existing venue in 
which the topic of multi-stream RFC governance can be discussed with the 
community, and so the conversation simply cannot happen. Given that the 
alternative would appear to be for the IAB to act without community 
input (or perhaps with the limited input provided by an IAB workshop), 
I'm not sure why you're pressing this point so hard. Not only would that 
kind of action set what I think would be bad precedent, but it would 
probably not have the outcome you desire.

Or perhaps I've misunderstood: do you think that there is a venue in 
which multi-stream RFC governance topics can be discussed with the 
various stakeholders, and that this simply isn't it?
