This thread is proving to be an interesting exercise aggressively missing 
the point.  So let me repeat it for the third time:

        Robert stated that he assumed there would be a BOF
        that would take place before IESG approval and
        that it would be the place for "fixing" the charter.

My point was that the assumption was entirely inappropriate.  So far, no 
postings in response have countered this basic point.

Even this latest effort at providing mathematical precision merely 
substantiates the point I was making, by noting that the occurrence of the 
BOF was not FOR THE PURPOSE of pre-IESG approval work, but was in fact 
taking IESG approval for granted.
