If this is true, he cannot post on IETF mailing lists and
should be banned of "Acknowledgments" sections as well!
No, this needs an RFC 3683 update - the RFC mentions
acknowledgements only in the title of its acknowledgements
section; steps need to be taken at once to rectify this
severely overlooked issue.
We can't have people mounting denial of service attacks
against the IETF by being mentioned in acknowledgements
section - that would be Just Too Impolite!
Of course, this would contradict the requirements of various
other documents that the acknowledgements contain a full
description of everyone who contributed substantively. So those
documents would all need to be updated to make appropriate
exceptions.
