Alissa,

Thanks for posting this. I think it's progress in the right direction and the engagement model looks solid.

I see that there are a bunch of open issues in the "Unprofessional Commentary" definition. Can you say more about how you plan to evolve that?

The SAA team will be periodically reviewing all the issues raised on this list, shared privately with saa@xxxxxxxx, and posted on Github. We’ll discuss them with the community and amongst ourselves and incorporate updates depending on the outcome of those discussions. We will fit the rounds of review into our schedules when we can, so people who send in issues should not expect immediate action in response.

Relatedly, a few people asked about sending feedback to this list. We will include such feedback in our rounds of review but we’re not likely to have cycles to respond to each comment on the list.

Best,

Alissa

RFC 3005 establishes the charter for the IETF discussion list, ietf@xxxxxxxx. It provides for the IETF Chair to appoint Sergeants-at-Arms (SAA) to help manage postings to this list. Matthew Miller and Dhruv Dhody are the current sergeants-at-arms.

The SAA team (Matthew, Dhruv, and Alissa) have been working on documenting the SAA engagement model, operating procedures, guidelines and email templates to help us make our communications consistent and clear. That guidance is collected in the GitHub repository < https://github.com/ietf/saa >.

We will be using this engagement model from now on. We consider it to be a work-in-progress, though, and will be looking for ways to improve it as we gain more experience with it. We would welcome you to file GitHub issues or send us email at < saa@xxxxxxxx > with your feedback.

Regards, 
Sergeant-at-Arms Team
