Some comments from me regarding this issue: First of all, as Ted mentioned, we have to note whether the chairs themselves complain about the Prague session or whether they are just responding to complaint voiced to them in private mails. As I read the mails, it's the latter which begs the quest

Hi, John, Not-an-AD would be better than an-AD, but an-AD would be better than wasting the WG's time. I agree with your point, I agree with not making a hard-and-fast rule, and I agree that the expectation is that an-AD chairing a WG meeting would recuse self from subsequent IESG discussions

I want to make three peripheral comments. 1. I congratulate the ADs for bringing this to the general list. If we habitually resolve such difficulties openly, we strengthen the IETF going forward. 2. I think we have a general problem of assuming that issues "decided" in the meeting room and "appr
