Perhaps it is an unwritten rule, but I thought this battle was fought
and won years ago.  Perhaps you should discuss the specific problem with
the AD and or the IESG.  I can't recall the last time I was involved in
a group in which the chair played an active role in authoring.  And as
someone who did that way many years ago, I strongly advise against it.
