I am interested to know what that has to do with Internet governance.

Not being a politician, I have no problem answering that question. Yes,
I suggested that change to the joint declaration:

As Stéphane Bortzmeyer hinted in his blog post, the phrase
"free of charge or at low cost" would cause difficulty to an SDO like
the IEEE that funds its standards activities to some extent by selling
the standards. It did not surprise me that the comment did not survive
as part of the compromise text.

I answered the question because it concerned my own actions, but I am
interested to know what that has to do with Internet governance.
The IEEE does not write Internet standards.

Enough troll-feeding for one day, I think.
