In which case, if they declare support for the charter but have not yet
signed it, they're equal - especially if they sign the charter and join
this caucus.

Cant comment for either of the two, but if a tiny subsection of a splinter
group of CS keeps insisting they are not CS, and makes loud noises about
it, what else do you expect?

The active hostility towards those groups tends to make me believe the
focus is more on control than on collaboration. But that's entirely another
story.

You are not arguing these effectively, and keep making the same points -
not very convincing ones - over and over again. So, fine, you are not able
to understand (or is the word actually "accept") this viewpoint. You will
see that various others - see Avri and Jeanette's emails in this thread -
seem to understand these points.  

And frankly, I could care less if you dont understand them, but how or why
did this level of lack of understanding and bias seep into the nomcom and
affect its decision making process?
