To be brief - I agree that our "open lists" don't always work for us.

I agree that it shouldn't take the entire IESG ("who should be working
on stuff that matters more") to suspend posting privileges.

I agree that a WG chair (in practice, almost always a pair of WG
co-chairs, and if so, both co-chairs should agree) should notify the
responsible AD that they are suspending a participant's posting
privileges.

I agree that suspended participants should have the right of appeal to
the responsible AD.

I agree that the number of warnings can be variable, but there should
be a "last" warning, whatever number that turns out to be.

I'm not sure if it's been stated in this thread, but I believe this
should be a rare occurance, and notice of suspension should happen on
the mailing list (so the curious can go read the postings, which may
be in French, babelfish.altavista.com them into an appropriate
language, and decide whether an appeal is appropriate).

Spencer
