I have reviewed the provided emails and sadly I think the IESG is correct in making this decision. The behaviour of Dan Harkins on the lists is not conducive to a welcoming environment for people to participate in, quite the opposite (and the IETF isn't easy to participate in to begin with, but that's a different topic). It looks like the IETF will be better off without Dan "contributing" on the lists. Cheers, Sander -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
