Dear members,

In light of recent activity on the members-discuss mailing list, the Executive Board resolved to place the members-discuss mailing list in moderation until further notice. This follows numerous complaints that have been made about mails that are off-topic and/or contain material that does not show tolerance or respect for fellow members of the list. The resolution is:

“The RIPE NCC Executive Board resolves to temporarily moderate the members-discuss mailing list starting from Monday 2 June 2025, 20:00 CEST and until further notice. The mailing list will be moderated in accordance with the purpose of the mailing list and the principles of the RIPE Code of Conduct by a designated member of the RIPE NCC Executive Board and a RIPE NCC staff member. All emails, accepted or rejected, will be archived on the RIPE NCC website.”

The minutes of the Board meeting will be published soon.

With this resolution, the principles of the RIPE Code of Conduct will be applied to the members-discuss list. Emails that do not meet the requirements of the code of conduct will not be approved to be posted to the list. Mails that do not meet the intended purpose of providing members with a means to discuss membership issues among themselves will also not be approved to be posted to the list.

The moderators of the list will be the Executive Board Secretary and one member of RIPE NCC staff. Mails will be moderated during office hours. A separate archive of all mails, including those rejected by the moderators, is available for all members to view should they wish to do so. Mails on the unmoderated list are deleted after three months.
