Hi folks, as we are nearing the time when we have a completed Administrative Restructuring considerations document available to put before the IETF, we have to make ready to manage the discussion to consensus. We (IESG/IAB) have recommended using the IETF list (ietf@ietf.org) as the veichle for discussion - this is an issue that affects the IETF as a whole, so it seems appropriate to put discussion in a place that has traditionally been dedicated to IETF-wide issues. However, this brings up a small issue: Traditionally, the IETF chair has been the moderator (with a rather light hand) of the IETF list. In this discussion, the IETF chair is an active participant in the work and the discussion; it seems inappropriate to ask the IETF chair to also decide whether or not posts are off-topic and/or abusive. Luckily, the IETF list charter (RFC 3005) has a solution: The IETF Chair, the IETF Executive Director, or a sergeant-at-arms appointed by the Chair is empowered to restrict posting by a person, or of a thread, when the content is inappropriate and represents a pattern of abuse. So - I'm hereby asking for volunteers for the job - which is a thankless one, but will not go unthanked! You should: - Be a regular reader of the IETF list (at least a few times a week) - Be willing to monitor and moderate the list according to the rules in the IETF list charter (RFC 3005), rather than your personal opinion - Be willing to commit to doing the job for at least 3 months - Have a thick skin :-) (Taking a vacation in the next 3 months does not disqualify - we can always find ways to deal with a crisis...) Anyone who is willing to do this job - send me a note (privately), and I will pick one (or more, if I have a convincing argument that this is appropriate). Thanks in advance!
