Adam, The necessity for this move saddens me, but I agree with those who favor this action. I would add to your list the suggestion that much of the July 2018 thread on the IETF list that contains https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/fo_yF-u0B7UE0qPGSurPilbGbak Is off-topic for the IETF (that particular message appears to call for Android software modifications) and some of those messages, including https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/zs19Nz1KJmfAmKHPx4pX2hXaYwk includes claims about person injuries that are even more clearly off-topic for the IETF. Continuing that discussion after being told by several people, both on and off list clearly changes the S/N ratio on the IETF list in negative directions and is hence disruptive. Other messages, while they contain some content that might be relevant to the IETF, also contain considerable (well over 50%) content that is irrelevant and, by its nature, disruptive. See, for example, https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/FE6vkL_Ego7-DDP-YhjeXn_FCJQ or https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/Ohn5gHK3SU3HObz_axDzW3lS1qY where the latter contains even less IETF-relevant material. My point in mentioning the above is to point out that the problem behavior has been going on for rather a long time and on multiple IETF lists. best, john --On Friday, May 3, 2019 16:08 -0500 Adam Roach <adam@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The ART area directors have received a request from several > individuals to > revoke the posting rights to IETF mailing lists of Pradeep > Kumar Xplorer as > per the procedures in BCP 83 (RFC 3683). > > The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and > solicits final > comments on this action.
