Perhaps the issue is simply 'terminology confusion'.
Perhaps there's a more serious 'inclusion' issue here. I'm not sure.

Traditionally, Editor Workshop meetings are held after the WG
meets, so the editors can efficiently capture the WG consensus and
editing directions resulting from mailing list and WG meeting discussion.
It is highly irregular, even exclusionary, for such a meeting to
be held just before an IETF, for the purpose of resolving open issues.

The discussion is San Diego resulted in agreement that an interim meeting
should be scheduled.  If this proposed meeting was called an WG Interim meeting,
as the WG expected, this email thread wouldn't have occurred.  Why was
it changed to from an Interim to an Editors meeting anyway?
