Dear IAB, cc'ing ietf@ietf.org for transparency:

This is another followup to report even more damage caused by the IESG
actions covered in https://cr.yp.to/2025/20251024-rules.pdf, which IAB
still hasn't handled.

Concretely, in public email dated 28 Nov 2025 08:35:52 -0800, the
tls@ietf.org censors announced a "Notice of Moderation" for my postings
to the TLS mailing list as "allowed by the IESG statement on the
intentional inclusion of a derivative works in list emails". The
situation here is analogous to my previous message.

Please confirm receipt of these messages, and please tell me when you
expect to handle this matter.

---D. J. Bernstein
