The closest I could find was: "Working groups SHOULD ensure that their associated mailing list is manageable. For example, some may try to circumvent the revocation of their posting rights by changing email addresses; accordingly it should be possible to restrict the new email address." from page 5 of RFC 3683. Misrepresented identities may fall under the same banner as changing email addresses for the purposes of RFC 3683. - Wes Beebee -----Original Message----- From: ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx [mailto:ietf-bounces@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Russ Housley Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 11:36 AM To: Christian Huitema Cc: ietf@xxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Ltru] Possible RFC 3683 PR-action I cannot find one.
