Dear Leo Vegoda/ List Members! I can only speak to my perception of the situation, however i would ask you to please consider the content of this email: While the communication from dennis was certainly not in line with the code of conduct, i do see that he is very passionate about the topic. I am not sure if the proposers of 2023-04 would agree, but i do belive there is currently a very important discussion going on. This is about how the policy/language in it is interpreted and the resulting implications. Certainly, discussions can be heated, and i would also like denis to understand that there are acceptable and non-acceptable ways to communicate. At the same time, it feels very wrong to "cut" him out of the discussion at this point, by suspending his ability to post. Please note that i hold opposing views to his, but i would still like to hear/read his inputs, if he can manage to communicate it in a more constructive way going forward. So is there any alternative course of action that allows this discussion to move forward with dennis being able to participate at the current stage? That said, I fully agree and support the descision to extend the disucssion deadline by 4 Weeks! Kind Regards Sebastian On 1/11/24 14:42, Leo Vegoda wrote:
Dear Working Group,
Earlier, Denis sent a message that contained multiple ad-hominem attacks on the proposers of 2023-04 (Add AGGREGATED-BY-LIR status for IPv4 PA assignments). This is in conflict with our Code of Conduct. We will not tolerate breaches of the Code of conduct.
As a reminder, our Code of Conduct urges us to "be open, considerate, and respectful." Further, "Aggressive communication" such as "Calling people offensive names" is not allowed.
Denis has previously had a private warning. As this is his second breach in a discussion of this proposal, we will instruct the RIPE NCC to stop him from posting to the list for 30 days.
Also, as the discussion has derailed, we will extend the Review Phase by four weeks. We encourage everyone to focus comments on the proposal and its potential impact. Do not comment on individuals, their characteristics, or motivations.
Kind regards,
Leo Vegoda, for the Address Policy WG co-chairs
