Hi. I received a note asking whether I had intentionally not copied my note to rfc-editor-rfi@xxxxxxxx as the draft RFI announcement requested. The answer, for several reasons, is "yes, it was intentional". One of those reasons is perhaps worth bringing to the community's attention: This list does not appear in the list of non-WG mailing lists and I can find no list of IAOC mailing lists on the IAOC/IASA web pages. Consequently, if the list is being archived at all, there does not appear to be any way to find the archives. While I also have some personal reasons, I decline to participate in any public or semi-public discussion of IETF-related processes that is not open, transparent, and archived in an easily-accessible and public way. I note that, while there is nothing in the IASA procedures ("communication plan") document that requires mailing lists with public archives, that intent seems clear to me from BCP 101. An update or clarification from the IAOC would seem to be in order (especially since that procedures document still specifies publication of various documents as IONs, which no longer exist). john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
