I remind you that we had called for formally shunning Allisat (in
February) and Williams (in July) in the IETF; for abusive language,
personal attacks, and excessive cross-posting.  Please do not reply to
Allisat or Williams postings on the IETF list.  (I left Williams in the
CC to help activate the bogon filters.)

Oh, I'm sure there are other examples.  Large corporate entities with
formal proxy voting, for example.

The surprise is "unanimous".  Especially as I consider myself a
"Stakeholder", and I was not consulted.

All he has to do is post the names, addresses, and email contacts of all
the unanimous voters, so that it can be verified, in the interest of
"transparency".  Please, not to the IETF list, but I'm sure that NTIA
would be happy to record the information for posterity.
