Pasi,

That document contains specifics.  I am asking you to cite the specifics that 
cover the reasons given for your refusal to process this as an Errata.

To make this simpler:

    Let's say you refused to process the Errata because the Errata contained 
the 
word "the".  And when asked to explain your reason, you said:

    "I do not believe the errata meets this criteria, agreed by the IESG
    for IETF Stream RFCs:

    http://www.ietf.org/IESG/STATEMENTS/iesg-statement-07-30-2008.txt";

    No one would find that an adequate explanation.

Yet this is exactly what you have just done, since I do not see any way to 
interpret the text of the IESG statement as covering the conditions Barry cited.

You obviously do see a way and I am asking you to explain it, by providing the 
details.

I haven't commented on the adequacy of the statement.

In fact I keep trying to reconcile the reasons you cite with the content of 
that 
statement.  That's the failure that /I/ keep citing and that's why I'm asking 
you to be specific, rather than just invoking the IESG statement in its 
entirety.
