As Communications Committee member I daresay it is totally different
from my understanding. It make me doubt how the recent discussion is
based on the accurate fact and hence those complaints are based on
facts and truths at least the Foundation recognizes as such.

Also I support the idea this discussion as entire except the inquiry
how the Foundation is relevant to the management of the channel in
question is off topic here to foundation-l mailing list.
