What happened to open and inclusive?
So far we have had a deliberate campaign of heckling that the
chair did nothing to stop followed by the chair taking sanctions
against anyone who complained about the hecklers.
Five members of the group have resigned in disgust at the heckler
faction.
You will note that none of the posts I have sent on this topic
have made it to the list. So even if I do make a statement
concerning IPR the chances are that the post will be seen are
nil.
The chair has admitted that the reason my posts are blocked is
that I am working on starting anti-spam groups in other forums,
I am not aware that that type of move has EVER been sanctioned
by IETF process.

Phillip has a complaint about the IPR policies. This complaint is not
getting to the list, which is another complaint. Vixie tries to justify
this suppression in his message:

it didn't scale. but, rather than change the written rules, more
emphasis has been put on "design teams" and "directorates" in order to
get work done in ways the written rules don't cover. note that i think
this is bad, and that the written rules should be changed, and then
followed, and that the way things are trying to get done now has scaled
even less well than before.
To which I refute Vixie, as you quote me:

The IPR policy (controversial as it might be), has nothing to do with who
can post to an IETF list. There is no reasonable basis to limit posts
because a person is involved in other groups. It has nothing to do with
any so-called 'emphasis on design teams and directorates', which seems to
be little more than a codeword for suppression of certain viewpoints.
Go back and look at Phillip's original message. The complaint about
democracy was not about posting rights. Enclosed:
I disagree with any requirement imposed by a working group chair who
believes he is not accountable to the group. I do not think that the
way an IPR regime should be specified is a unilateral statement from
the chair that a decision has been taken.
An IPR policy should not be something that members of a group
discover when they are told it has been imposed from above.
