It would be incorrect to say "...an explanation of > how the decision or action is presumed to violate the BCPs..." Yeah, but the original text isn't right either. "...believed to violate..." "...putatively violates..." "...alleged to violate..." and other phrases would, I think, satisfy both Scott's concerns and yours. These are the sort of language/presentation details that I wish we could assume that final editing would straighten out. It is not a good sign that we think we need to fix them on the IETF list. john _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
