The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Progressive Posting Rights Supsensions ' <draft-carpenter-rescind-3683-03.txt> as a BCP This document abolishes the existing form of indefinite Posting Rights Action and restores the previous option of finite posting rights suspensions authorized by an Area Director. It obsoletes RFC 3683 and updates RFC 2418 and RFC 3934. Publication of this document will classify RFC 3683 as historic. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2006-11-17. During IESG evaluation, an AD raised the concern that the consensus shown during the last call of this document might not be strong enough to justify approval. In order to determine the strength of the consensus, the IESG asks the community to focus on the following questions in last call responses: 1) Do you support the proposal in section 2 of the draft to restore the AD and IESG's ability to suspend posting rights for longer than 30 days and to approve alternative methods of mailing list control as originally documented in RFC 2418? 2) Do you support the proposal in section 3 to rescind RFC 3683? 3) Do you have any concerns about approving one part of the draft without approving the other? 4) Do you have any other comments on the document?
