[rpd] Policy supremacy

[Diroi Karalis]

Dear Musa,

Tshepo and Gugu don't need prior recognition from established participants
before their input counts. Joining recently, missing earlier meetings, or
sharing similar views is not evidence of impersonation or bad faith. Anyone
is entitled to join an open process at Last Call and raise objections
before a proposal becomes policy.
KYC would be a significant procedural and privacy change. It can't be
applied selectively to objectors we don't recognize it would need a formal
basis, a clear justification, proper safeguards, and equal application to
every participant, not just the inconvenient ones.
If you have evidence of misconduct, send it to the co-chairs. Otherwise,
engage with Tshepo and Gugu's arguments on their merits. Familiarity isn't
authority, and "the community" isn't a closed circle that gets to decide
who's allowed in.

Regards,
Diroi
