  Any definition of harassment prohibited by an applicable law can be

I find "prohibited by an applicable law" to be somewhat problematic and
overreaching.

This should be removed.  If something is a violation of applicable law,
then the folks responsible for that law should deal with it, not us.  We
should be dealing with harassment that impinges on the IETFs creation of
standards and not with harassment that has little or no nexus with the
IETF.

  If the harassment falls under the purview of some legal authorities
we should disengage and let the legal process sort itself out.
