I didn't say it had been... we're just starting; expecting anything to
be ratified after the first meeting is not an expectation anyone
should have at this point. My emails were my interpretation based on
what was discussed in the first meeting to help people that were not
there understand what happened during the first meeting. I attempted
to summarize the meeting as I saw it. Others can provide their own
interpretations.

Yep, which is what I did.

Members can provide their view of what they believe happens in a
meeting and propose next steps that they believe to be helpful in
establishing consensus. Gathering requirements from the community are
among those things that help establish consensus. We have used ranked
choice polls to make decisions over the past decade in this and other
communities.

Threatening action such as this for actions performed in good faith,
as well as the sorts of legal threats you've been engaged in for the
past several weeks (threatening legal action over trademarks which you
do not have) establish a pattern of behaviour that is troubling.

If you would like to file a code of conduct violation, please do.
