Your email references vaguely some recent events. Reading between the lines, something must have happened in the WG to make the situation untenable for you, but I have no idea what. According to [1], the WG's mailing list is private, and there are only public minutes up until February 2017, so I'm assuming that these events are not documented anywhere that I can read.
There are some hints in the Minutes, as to where the differences originally stem from (I am happy to look them up for anyone interested). But I believe that this is not of primary relevance in the current situation.
I encourage you to continue to discuss your concerns with the board privately. With this little context, it sounds like public action runs a risk of making things even more "political," since you are effectively asking the subscribers of foundation-list to form their opinions without knowing what is going on. That will likely lead to assumptions, projection, and more misunderstandings.
You are obviously right with your concerns. And even if I may not have fully considered these aspects, I still do not see another option for me. Please note that the aim of the mail is to ask the Board to adopt my proposal for a referendum on their own accord. Including my motivations and CC'ing foundation-list was unfortunately a requirement considering the difficulty of the situation at this point. I do hope that community members will form their own opinion on whether a Referendum is a good solution rather than deciding solely based on whether they think my motivations have merits.
