I do not completely agree with Allan's explanation here. While I have been
involved in the current discussions about the CoC proposal, it has been as
a member of the Board, not as a member of the WG. I was not involved in the
final draft of the document as a member of the WG. As Allan stated, many of
us had stopped participating in the WG before the final draft was finished
because Ben's behavior had become unacceptable.
