You, on the other hand, are already participating, and are free to give your perspective. 2) Was Mailman asked (the other two MLS were not) if a simple DNS > lookup can be considered?

If they join the list, you could ask them here; if they don't, you can reach out to them to make that inquiry. 3) And this hurts to ask, but I believe it is a natural "IETF Discuss" > question to ask, is there an AD vs Editor conflict here?

Area directors are not barred from participating in working groups. If the WG were to choose to adopt this draft, for example, the chairs would have the choice of picking a different editor, as they do with any other document. It would be the chairs that make consensus calls as needed as the document evolves. They run the Working Group Last Call. Once it gets sent up for IETF-wide Last Call, some other Area Director would step in to run it through that part of the process (probably Barry, the other ART AD, but not necessarily). And when it gets to IESG balloting, I would recuse myself. If at any point it looks like a conflict of interest is possible, we tag other Area Director(s) to review it for undue influence. -MSK
