This sort of thing is wh a policy is needed I attempted to hint at it already in this thread, but frankly, this sort of thing is why a policy _is not_ needed. The IESG has that discretion already, and I would prefer to trust their judgement than to write a policy governing all future action, thereby running the risk that we'll have overlooked something and having a resulting problem with policies down the road. I do not understand this nearly constitutional obsession with writing down policies for everything we do and don't do. It turns us into a bureaucratic process slaves for no benefit I can see.
