This is a message from your friendly mailing list facilitators. Remember
when Jari announced that
experiment?
(http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg97290.html). Our goal
is to
help discussions on this list be more productive. The thread that we are
seeing now is quite a
challenge for us. One the one hand, the discussion of the IETF values and
mode of operation is
entirely on topic for the list. On the other hand, the emotions are high and
the number of messages
is so large that it is hard to follow. So, how about a few simple
recommendations to keep this
discussion productive?
* don't post to multiple mailing lists.
* if this is about supporting diversity in the IETF, consider using the
list diversity(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org
(https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/diversity)
* if this is about selection of meeting venues, consider using the
list mtgvenue(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org
(https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mtgvenue)
* if you just want to send feedback to the IAOC about meeting venues
without participating in a discussion, consider dropping an e-mail to
venue-selection(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org. The archive is public, but the list is
not
meant for discussions.
We all have a history of working reasonably well together, so I am sure that
you know the usual steps. Think
before you post. Try hard to understand what the other participants are
saying. Don't write stuff that you
will later regret. Maybe pause for a day before you come back to the
discussion.
Thanks!
