Re: recourse if our rules are violated?




I think that depends.  If the postings are disruptive because
they are, e.g., abusive of individuals and make wild claims that
are irrelevant to the IETF's technical work, then yes, there is
a difference and the issues are internal.

Who is to make that call?

However, if the
disruptive individual is pushing a technically-plausible
alternative view, even one that the IETF has rejected, in a
too-aggressive way that becomes disruptive, then the IETF is
making a decision about the appropriateness of a technology (or
of further discussion of a technology) based on behavior of
individuals who we do not believe are following the rules.

The problem is John that the IETF's operations are 'decided' by a very small group of people who really dont seem to want outside voices involved. This isnt abuse its a conspiracy to 'tortuously interfere' with another's ininitiave and the IETF and in particular those managers within the IETF need to be held accountable for that.


In my case for instance I am still debating as to whether to sue the IETF for eliminating my voice from the IETF mailing list since it prevents me from any new efforts within the IETF. So far I am too busy with the new time services company to spend the time, but that could change... My point is that any and all suspensions must be reviewable as temporary IMHO.

I'm not sure what that leads to in terms of IETF procedures.
We're still left with two choices: ignore the IPR claim or
ignore the technology.

I would have chosen a different verb than "ignore", but, yes, that is the problem and, at least, the reason we need to make careful case-by-case decisions.
