Since when does working group management get to dictate, by fiat and with
no prior discussion, what postings are to be allowed and then prevent
working group discussion about a decision, nevermind such an unusual
(unprecedented?) decision?
Randy Bush, the DNSEXT censor, has been doing this for years.
In 1996 he started throwing away ``spam and administrivia.'' By 1998 he
was occasionally throwing away on-topic postings that he didn't like. By
2000 he was regularly censoring messages criticizing his behavior. See
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/namedroppers.html for many detailed examples.
All of these actions were taken unilaterally, without DNSEXT approval.
I'm looking forward to seeing antitrust lawsuits against the IETF.
