Group description
The IETF Chair appoints Moderators for the IETF Discussion list that are empowered to restrict posting by a person, or to an email thread, when the content is inappropriate and represents a pattern of abuse. Moderation of the IETF discussion list, including the handling of any appeals, is guided by BCP 45 (RFC 9245). Inappropriate postings to the IETF discussion list include:
- Advertising and other unsolicited bulk e-mail
- Discussion of subjects unrelated to IETF policy, meetings, activities, or technical topics
- Uncivil commentary, regardless of the general subject
- Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are not sponsored or endorsed by the IETF, IRTF, IAB, or the Internet Society
