Watson,

I think perhaps there's a misalignment of goals here.

My perspective is that the privacy considerations are good enough (and have
been for several months now) for the draft to proceed and will likely be
improved or changed more anyway during the course of shepherd, AD,
directorate, and IESG reviews yet to come.

There were some accommodations made to hear your concerns and then
incorporate text based on your most recent suggestion. From my point of
view, this was an olive branch offered to help move the conversation
forward. It was not intended as an invitation or obligation to introduce
further, more significant changes.

I strongly believe it is time for this draft to progress, a sentiment I
share with the draft co-editors and I think a significant portion of the
working group participants. Once again, I respectfully request that the
chairs initiate the document shepherding process.
