In my opinion, the "Do not deceive yourself" was in response to an email
from Lucilla (and quoting said email), that
- told the chairs what they should do
- did not consider the circumstances that
   a) there are serious arguments about procedures, and
   b) there is an appeal

In my opinion Lucilla's email was an encouragement to not follow PDWG
procedure.
Or how should we understand "The policy shall now move to ratification."
while there is an appeal?

So while we all want to believe that there was no malicious intent, I
believe it's useful to request others to get their facts right.

And in that case it should not be in last-call at all and should be
referred back to the mailing list for discussion.
This the established procedure which was used many many times.
It seems (to me) that only very recently it has become fashionable to
diverge from the PDWG procedures. I might be wrong.

That is a valid position, and you try to make it look unreasonable. But
it is reasonable.

This is noted.
And if you repeat it a few more times, you will also tolerate others
repeating the opposite view several times.
Thanks.
