Just to confirm, there is no issue with individuals sending messages of support on a proposal to the mailing list. The Chairs consider them all as part of the process. However, as I also stated, this is not a vote, this is a discussion which may or may not lead to a consensus of the working group and community and anyone who is emailing the list, or encouraging others to do so, should be aware of that.

All

Is someone encouraging astroturfing?

The number of either new or inactive members of this list who have posted one line messages in support of the recent policy discussion has reached insane levels
