Hi Warren,
I dropped the draft authors from the Cc.

Being a moderator is a tough and thankless job ?
no matter what you do, some set of people will
say that you overreacted, some will say you were
too mild, some will say that you were not fast
enough, some will say that you jumped the gun, some will claim censorship, etc.
In addition, it is hard to design a foolproof
process which cannot be gamed ? listing all of
tthe bad things that participants should not do
will always be incomplete (and will just be a
long list of ick or people will see just how close to the line they can get).
Yes.
I think that we should just give the the IAB
Chair, the LLC Chair, and the IESG Chair (acting
together) the capability, and, more importantly,
the responsibility, to perform emergency
moderation (and, if necessary, banning), and
make the "dealing with egregious behavior" their
problem. This would be in addition to the
current moderators, and would only be used in egregious cases.
There is a difference between taking a
time-sensitive action and taking a permanent
action. It is very awkward to roll back the
second option if there is reason to do so. In
addition, a decision on having those three roles
perform the long-term action would be contentious.
