Subject: [TLS] Notice of Moderation for Postings by D. J. Bernstein

The TLS Chairs have, after consultation with the ADs, decided to moderate
the postings of D. J. Bernstein for 30 days due to continued disruptive
behavior [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] as allowed by the IESG
statement on the intentional inclusion of a derivative works in list emails
[1].  This comes after previous public warnings for disruptive behaviour
[2][3].

This action is taken under BCP9 / RFC3934 Section 2, with the exception
that moderation instead of suspension of all posting rights is applied.
Postings by D. J. Bernstein will be held for moderation and after
confirmation by the TLS Chairs of being on topic and not disruptive, will
be released to the list.

Please note that release of messages to the TLS list may take up to two
working days.

On behalf of the TLS Chairs,

Joe, Sean, and Deirdre
