Ole,

While I may agree with you that is an attack on process here – and you may even 
find consensus on that statement – I am far from convinced you would find 
consensus on the question of which group is conducting the attack on process.

Absolutely.
Unfortunately the IETF process is open to attacks.
It appears that something akin to a proxy war is being fought.
Some things has to be in place for a consensus based process to work,
which looks to be missing here.

While the chairs have some tools to their disposition; for this to work
it requires the actors and the whole community to respect and
self-police that process.

How frustrating it may be for the spectators,
letting it play out may be the best option we got.

Best regards,
Ole
