Subject: [TLS] Appeal Under RFC 9945 Section 4.1: Moderation of D. J. Bernstein During WG Last Call

[…]

I am requesting that the full IESG handle this appeal directly, as neither Security AD can serve as a neutral adjudicator. AD Cooley […]. AD Wouters […]. Both ADs are compromised. The situation is functionally equivalent to one where the responsible AD "cannot be determined or is not assigned" under RFC 9945 Section 4.1.
[…]

Respectfully submitted,
Andrew
