The involvement by you and Rick in the formation of the ARB was
inappropriate, and is a large part of the reason the ARB isn't fully
accepted by the Ubuntu community. But, that is over and done, long ago,
so let's not go back over it.

Great, thanks for offering to step away! If it would make you feel more
comfortable, let's say you'll check back with us at the end of February,
and see if there's anything we'd like your help with.

We (the ARB members) would be happy to open a conversation with the
TB/CC if you need more guidance on what level of involvement is appropriate.
