suspension can expand to any IETF list without community or IESG suspension can expand to any IETF list without community or IESG
involvement. This memo is an RFC 3933[RFC3933] experiment to provide involvement. This memo is an RFC 3933[RFC3933] experiment to provide
the IESG with the ability to create additional mechanisms to manage the IESG with the ability to create additional mechanisms to manage
IETF mailing lists while the community decides what mailing list IETF mailing lists while the community decides what mailing list
guidelines are appropriate. IN particular this experiment allows the guidelines are appropriate. IN particular this experiment allows the
IESG to create a level of sanction between RFC 3934 and RFC 3683 for IESG to create a level of sanction between RFC 3934 and RFC 3683 for
working group lists and create sanctions other than RFC 3683 for working group lists and create sanctions other than RFC 3683 for
non-working-group lists. The goal of this experiment is to improve non-working-group lists. The goal of this experiment is to improve
the functioning of IETF mailing lists while keeping the process open the functioning of IETF mailing lists while keeping the process open
