After looking at this, my conclusion, shared by others, is that the
Director's decision has to be rescinded. Mistakes were made during the
transition, especially since there were outstanding issues on the
documents that have not been considered during the transition. The Group
thought that it was possible to make updates to their draft without
going through their issues list, and we did not tell them that this is
not an option, despite it being part of our Process and also listed in
the transition requirements.

Björn, thank you for calling us out on this one.

As part of preventing from this happening again, I'm suggesting that
future transition requests have to be sent to a public list. Something
like transitions@w3.org should do (as well as the public list of the
group possibly).
