At the request of the WG Chairs, as well as many other members of the IETF community, we we will be implementing TDMA in front of all ietf.org mailing lists. We plan to put this in place tomorrow, Tuesday May 6th, at approximately 17:00 GMT / 1pm ET. The setup will use one common whitelist for all the lists. The whitelist will be pre-seeded with all the current regular subscribers to any of the mailing lists on ietf.org. People who aren't subscribed to any list will be required to confirm their first posting. In order to both keep the size of the whitelist reasonable, and to regularly clean out entries for robots, we plan to let non-subscriber entries on the whitelist time out after 6 months, which will mean that non-subscribers will need to acknowledge a posting every 6 months or so. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
