IAB, Thank you for the processing of this request.However, this mailing list maintainer is now completely uncertain about what his marching orders are with regards to continuing to administer the ietf-languages list.
The IAB seems to have decided that it's the IESG that has to decide this; there is nothing else in the decision of the IAB that is clear to me.
Until the IESG hands me a new decision, I will continue to administer the ietf-languages list as if RFC 3683 was appropriate guidance for administering it, including upholding the current suspension of posting rights for Jefsey Morfin until February 13, 2006.
The alternatives would be to declare that I'm making up the rules on my own, or to declare that the list has no rules until the IESG decides; the last interpretation is not one I'm willing to run a list under.
(Yes, he's gotten suspended again.)

5. IAB Conclusion on the Appeal The IAB found that the response provided by the IESG in this action did not provide sufficient justification to sustain the banning of Mr. Morfin from the ietf-languages mailing list. In particular, while the IAB agrees with the IESG that no specific mailing list process RFCs directly apply in this case, its response is not sufficiently clear why RFC 3934 is considered applicable "by analogy". Further, it is also unclear from the IESG's response what the scope of applicability of RFC 3934 might be, or when other process RFCs might be applied "by analogy". Therefore, the IESG's action does not meet the clear and public requirement outlined above and the IAB annuls the IESG's decision in this appeal and sends the matter back to the IESG for resolution. Since the suspension period has expired, no remedy is indicated. However, the IAB recommends that the ambiguities that gave rise to this appeal be clarified, as described in the following sections.
