Wheter Jim's point of view is right or wrong, part of his postings are
related to a topic
- Discussion of IETF administrative policies
, which is declared to be an appropriate posting in IETF Discussion List by
RFC3005.
Some postings are professional since they are dealing with technical matters
of Internet.
Some postings are informative since they contain hyper links that are
internet-technical, while most
of them are imflammatory.
IPv8 (or whatever) seems related to ther work of the Internet Engineering
Task Force, on the basis of the first statement of overview of
IETF(http://www.ietf.org/overview.html), saying:
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open international
community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers
concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth
operation of the Internet. It is open to any interested individual.
, without regards to the fact that the IETF 'has chosen' other alternative.
I guess his postings are not laming IETF's constructive work and procedures
for now.
If posted opinion is right, the society will accept it. If not, will not.

Subject: Public warning: Please cease inappropriate posting
Jim,
after having reviewed the multitude of email that you have sent to the
IETF
list over the past week, I find that it does not conform to the guidelines
in RFC 3005 for appropriate posting to the IETF list.
Your postings are unprofessional, noninformative, inflammatory, and to a
large degree (such as dealing with "IPv8") unrelated to the work of the
IETF.
You have established a pattern of such postings; when the previous
outburst
subsided in early August, many of us hoped that you had found reason to
cease this inappropriate activity, but plainly, you have not.
If this pattern continues, action according to RFC 3005 will be taken.
Harald Tveit Alvestrand
