Right, but cohercing him to endorse (or be silent about) non-hybrid/NIST PQ crypto by the IESG playing armchair lawyer with our derivative right policies, with the consequence of having moderators ban him from participation, is informative about the decision dynamic and the reluctance to touch the technical substance. This could have been handled differently, with a focus on the technical matter. Now the approach is mailing list bans and process details. I don't believe the moderator decisions here will advance the effectiveness and reputation of the IETF. The apparant short-term success to silence and delay non-hybrid/NIST PQ crypto seems instead to have inspired policy changes to make this method easier to reach for. /Simon
