Hi Arturo,

The lack of any mention of harassment is intentional.  Harassment is 
a serious matter.  It is much more than about transgressing the 
guidelines for conduct.  In theory someone might be able to take 
legal action against the IETF or the person responsible.  In simple 
terms the IETF guidelines for conduct is to "play nice".

In my personal opinion it would be better not to discuss about 
harassment in the draft.  I am open to adding text if the document 
shepherd recommends it.

S. Moonesamy
