"IETF activities are conducted with extreme transparency, in public
forums. Decision-making requires achieving broad consensus via these
public processes."

https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf-llc-statement-competition-law-issues/

"Each of the organizations involved in the development and approval of
Internet Standards shall publicly announce, and shall maintain a
publicly accessible record of, every activity in which it engages, to
the extent that the activity represents the prosecution of any part of
the Internet Standards Process.  For purposes of this section, the
organizations involved in the development and approval of Internet
Standards includes the IETF, the IESG, the IAB, all IETF Working Groups,
and the Internet Society Board of Trustees."

Instead of having ADs declare that ADs are uncontrollable, how about we
enforce IETF's announced transparency policies and consensus policies?
