[DNSOP] List conduct (was: Re: DNSSEC as a Best Current Practice)

[Suzanne Woolf <[e-mail]>]

Colleagues,

As some of you have noted,  the thread under the subject “DNSSEC as a Best Current Practice” has included some inappropriate posts, not consistent with the IETF Code of Conduct or guidance on keeping the WG mailing list professional and productive. A DNSOP mailing list participant has been warned about their posts and asked to stop.

As a reminder to the list: people here can be vigorous and intense in their arguments and tone, but generally stay to the civil and constructive side, and the chairs don’t like stepping into substantive technical discussions. However, we do monitor the list, do listen to complaints, and do have the ability to take action when list conversation turns into persistently repeating arguments that have already been addressed, ad hominem attacks, or other behavior that has no apparent purpose besides disruption.

It’s important to bring your best technical arguments to DNSOP, but just as important in getting our work done to bring civility and respect for everyone else. These things matter even more over the last couple of years of seeing each other only online.

In general, DNSOP has done pretty well at keeping things professional and productive. It’s part of the chairs’ job to keep it that way. Thanks everyone,


Your DNSOP chairs,
Tim, Suzanne, and Benno
