I want to clarify what the mail said. It said we are planning to do this and 
called for feedback. A decision will be made after discussion.

Hi Jari  -

"Planning to do this" implies "we've already decided and it will go forward 
unless something changes.

Perhaps instead - "We're considering approaches to manage noise on the IETF list.  
One possibility discussed by the IESG is providing moderators to remonstrate with the 
noise producers prior to action by the sergeant-at-arms.  The IESG would like to solicit 
comments on this and also solicit guidance on other possibilities prior to making any 
decision".

Mike,

This is what I thought we were doing. Thanks for sending text.
