Re: Draft IESG Statement on Removal of an Internet-Draft from the IETF Web Site

I'd be supportive of allowing the IESG to make a decision to remove I-Ds based 
on court orders, abuse, and other well-justified reasons.

Such events would be rare, and we should let the IESG do its job of making 
decisions based on available information. The statement need not and should not 
have an exact algorithm, because we will not be able to determine all the 
situations where this might be necessary. There are various abuse cases and 
even mistakes by the authors that in some rare cases might be something that 
should lead to documents being pulled. The statement should indicate, however, 
the reasons (such as showing prior art) why such take-downs should be rare.
