Dear PDWG,

Speculating that participants are “AI agents” is not a valid basis for excluding them or assessing consensus.

If several objections raise the same point, the co-chairs may group them. But the substance must still be addressed. Similar wording does not make an objection invalid, and familiarity or workplace status does not create a greater mandate to participate.

The unresolved issue remains whether this proposal is necessary, proportionate, and sufficient to address the stated problem. That question should be assessed on evidence, not assumptions about who drafted a message.

Participation is not authority, and a mailing list should not become a gatekeeping exercise.

I remain opposed.

Regards,
Tshepo
