I think they do, because of the following text:

      At the other end of the spectrum the Ombudsteam could decide that
      the Respondent is no longer permitted to participate in a
      particular IETF activity, for example,...

Exclusion from meetings is only given as an example, so exclusion from
mailing lists is not ruled out. All I'm saying is that it's orthogonal
to meetings. Since "a remedy is not to be imposed for the purposes of
retribution" it should presumably not be imposed if it's irrelevant to
the misbehaviour.
