I would also appreciate more transparency regarding what’s happening with FATT, 
especially given the series of inconsistent behaviors by the WG AD and chairs 
as it relates to the continued attempts to force through the adoption of the 
ML-KEM-only key agreement draft despite a lack of rough consensus.

Now is not the time for the chairs to behave in a way that allows for 
uncharitable interpretations.
