Thank you all for your contributions to the MODPOD WG and RFC9945.  Since publication, the guidance outlined in RFC9945 have begun to be operationalized.  The initial moderation team has been appointed [1].  MODPOD is not the first or the last iteration on IETF community rules, but it's an important one to move forward within the community.  With the planned work completed, the WG is being closed.

While the WG will close, the WG’s mailing list, mod-discuss@ietf.org, will remain open as a public list for discussing moderation policies and practices, rather than focused on the activities of a WG.  This list will also serve as the IESG designated forum to “facilitate discussion about moderation” as tasked by RFC9945.

Lisa, Jon and Roman
(WG Chairs and Responsible AD for MODPOD)
