Note that while we may use complaints from the community about whether or not postings are inappropriate, in the end it is up to the Sergeant-at-Arms about whether or not postings are appropriate and form a pattern of abuse. And the postings from the accused are publically available on mailing list archives, and can be judged on their own (dis-)merits. For that reason, I don't believe that there is any need to reveal private communications about complaints, since the in the end, the final determination is and can be made by the postings in isolation. That being said, we do periodically check in with the IETF Chair, who appointed us and has the power to dismiss us, whether or not in his opinion, we are using the appropriate trigger levels for enforcing violations of RFC 3005.
