I thought I was very clear: I have no objection (subject to the
permission of the person who rents the room, which I'm sure you'd get)
for the same people to meet to discuss the same things at the same time
they would have met otherwise, and I have no views on what they can talk
about or what documents they can edit. I might even be there myself. My
proposals have bent over backwards to avoid inconveniencing anyone by
this formal change of status.

But I think it's wrong for work to continue _under_the_CAB_Forum_banner_
on a document _which_retains_a_CAB_Forum_label_ but which has no
prospect of becoming an official work product of the Forum, and which is
instead being edited for the use of particular companies and programs
which are not the Forum's responsibility.
