Internet-Draft IETF Discussion List Charter June 2021
1. Introduction
The IETF discussion list [IETF-DISCUSS] furthers the development and
specification of Internet technology through the general discussion
of topics for which no dedicated mailing lists exists. As this is
the most general IETF mailing list, considerable latitude is allowed.
However, there are posts that are unsuitable for this mailing list.
This document defines the charter for the IETF discussion list and
explains its scope.
The IETF Note Well [NOTE-WELL] applies to discussions on the IETF
discussion list and all other IETF mailing lists, and requires
conformance with the IETF Guidelines for Conduct [RFC7154] and the
Anti-Harassment Policy [IETF-AHP], among others.
2. Charter for the IETF Discussion List
The IETF discussion list is meant for discussions for which a more
appropriate list does not exists, such as discussions that do not
fall within the area of any working group, area or other established
list. When discussions are started on the IETF discussion list for
which such venues do exist, they should be moved there as soon as
this is pointed out.
When no dedicated mailing list exists, it may be preferable to
request the creation of one [NON-WG-LISTS] and only announce the
availability of the new list on the IETF discussion list and on other
related lists, such as area lists.
Appropriate postings to the IETF discussion list include:
* Initial discussion of technical issues that are candidates for
IETF work, but have not yet identified appropriate mailing lists.
* Questions and clarifications concerning practical aspects of IETF
meetings, although most of these topics are better brought up on
the discussion list for IETF LLC administrative issues
[ADMIN-DISCUSS] or the attendee discussion list for a given IETF
meeting, such as [IETF110-ATTENDEES] for IETF-110.
* Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are
sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or the IETF,
although the IETF announcement list [IETF-ANNOUNCE] is the
preferred list for these.
These topics used to be in scope for the IETF discussion list, but
have since moved to dedicated lists:
Eggert Expires 25 December 2021 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IETF Discussion List Charter June 2021
* Last Call discussions of proposed protocol actions now take place
on the IETF Last Calls mailing list [LAST-CALLS].
* Discussion of IETF administrative policies now take place on the
discussion list for IETF LLC administrative issues
[ADMIN-DISCUSS].
Inappropriate postings include:
* Advertising and other unsolicited bulk e-mail
* Discussion of subjects unrelated to IETF policy, meetings,
activities, or technical topics
* Unprofessional commentary, regardless of the general subject
* Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are not
sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or the IETF.
3. Security Considerations
The IETF Chair, the IETF Executive Director, or a sergeant-at-arms
[SAA-SOP] 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 [SAA-UPC]. They are encouraged to take
into account the overall nature of the postings by an individual and
whether particular postings are an aberration or typical. Complaints
regarding their decisions should be referred to the IAB.
4. IANA Considerations
This document does not request any IANA actions.
