Matthijs says it quite clearly in his proposal page: "Although not a formal requirement either, I have asked the Data Working Group for permission before carrying out this edit." (You may be right that it's odd to get the DWG explicitly involved in such pre-approval, and they might not want to set that precedent... but I guess the DWG will have more to say about that than me...)
