IESG / WG Chairs

The background here is that we had one individual disrupt a number of sessions, including the plenary, and we were required to first temporarily ban them and then permanently ban them.  

The meetings team (LLC, Secretariat, NOC, Meetecho, Tools) have discussed this and we propose the following way forward to manage similar instances in the future.

1.  Maintain a trust-based approach with an exception process, rather than introduce new controls to lock/unlock a whole session.  We think approach both maintains the permissive culture of the IETF and avoids extra complexity for WG Chairs.

2.  Add a new feature in Datatracker that allows the Secretariat to remove a participant from a session and more permanently.  The technical details here are that this feature will revoke their registration permissions and call a Meetecho API to remove them. 

3.  For single session removal this new process can be invoked by a WG chair (of the session) or an AD, contacting the Secretariat.  Permanent removal can only be authorised by me or Roman, normally after rapid consultation with the IESG.

Does this work for everyone?

Jay
