I disagree about the charter call. The mailman description
for the general IETF list is "This mailing list is for
general topics of discussion relating to items within the
IETF community. This is a public list for the IETF community
to use. Any items posted are subject to the rules of BCP 78
and BCP 79." This posting certainly fits that
description, it's very much of interest to the community.
But it doesn't fit the IETF list charter, RFC 3005:
Inappropriate postings include:
- Announcements of conferences, events, or activities
that are not
sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or IETF.
I'm not saying that we can't decide to allow postings like
this; it might be a very good thing. But we need to explicitly
make that decision, and explain why this one is OK and other
similar posts might still be problematic (if so).
FWIW, I concur with Pete.
If the "real" criterion is going to be "well, I think that is
interesting and/or helpful or "the ExecDir gets to post these
things but ordinary mortals do not"..
I disagree with the two interventions above based on RFC3005: "The IETF
discussion list, ietf@xxxxxxxx, /.../ is the most general IETF mailing
list, [where] considerable latitude is allowed."
A short, one-sentence message from the IETF executive director outlining
an opportunity to fund participation in IETF meetings must reasonably
fit within "considerable latitude".
