Re: Petition to the IESG for a PR-action against Jefsey Morfin posted

Hi Julien,

I think that there is some misunderstanding regarding what is happening. Harald Alvestrand is not in charge of an IETF PR-action process, and he has no official role in this process.

Harald is attempting to assemble information that he will use to propose a PR-action (a "Posting Rights" action), as described in RFC 3683. Once he has assembled this information, he will presumably use the information to persuade a member of the IESG (an AD) to sponsor this action. That AD would then be in charge of running a fair and open process to decide whether or not Jefsey Morphin's posting rights should be revoked.

If Harald finds an AD who will sponsor this action, then the process described in RFC 3683 would be followed. That process includes an IETF Last Call period, during which any member of the community may comment on the action. After that, the IESG would make a decision on the action using the usual consensus-based process. Like all IESG decisions, that decision is also subject to appeal. This is all described quite clearly in RFC 3683.

Harald is not required to be impartial in this effort, any more than a document author is required to be impartial in garnering support for his own technical work. It is the AD's job to make sure that the process of evaluating the PR-action is run fairly.

If an AD does decide to sponsor this PR-action, there will be an explicit opportunity for the community to comment on this action (the IETF LC) before a decision is made regarding it.
