As someone who works fr the offending company, I might point out that the lodged IPR statement does not accurately reference the draft at all. It talks about "section IV" and "section V". The current draft has no "section IV" or "section V". The draft does have sections labelled "section 4" and "section 5". If you know anything of legal documents and messages then you will understand that they need to be accurate. Ask your lawyer for more information on this.
Given your role as chair and that you are employed by the company involved, I would like to ask you to resign your role as co-chair here because I believe your commercial interests are compromising the direction and role of this group. If you do not wish to voluntarily resign I will ask the group to take a vote on this matter. As it stands, there are a number of people who do not like this move and I can imagine any number of them would feel betrayed by it.
