Supporting the points from Steve and Ted, the RFC on mailing list suspension by Marshall is a BCP and needs prominence. Harald: perhaps a nit, but a normative ref, rather than informative, in my opinion. (Because a chair who uses this RFC 2418 update process really should read BCP 83 and make sure they know about the other process for contrast).

I agree with Steve, and would have entered the same DISCUSS. But I'll go one better and
suggest text. Here's the current:
However, further
disruptive behavior by the same individual will be considered
separately and may result in further warnings or suspensions. Other
methods of mailing list control, including longer suspensions, must
be approved by the IESG or carried out in accordance with other
IESG-approved procedures.
I suggest adding the following added sentence: See BCP83 (RFC 3683)
for on set of procedures already defined and accepted by the community.
I also think the sentence above should be changed a bit, to reflect the
idea that it is IETF approved procedures that result in suspensions, rather
than IESG approved suspensions. New suggestion
Other methods of mailing list control, including longer suspensions, must
be approved by the IESG and carried out in accordance with other
IETF-approved procedures. See BCP83 (RFC 3683 for one set of procedures
already defined and accepted by the community.
