[dnsext] DNSEXT List Policy

[Ólafur Guðmundsson /DNSEXT chair <ogud@ogud.com>]

Periodic posting, updated 19/Dec/2008. (new note well statement)

List Purpose:

  namedroppers at ops.ietf.org is the mailing list for the IETF DNSEXT
  (DNS EXTensions) working group.

  See < http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html> for the
  WG charter.  Messages should be on topics appropriate to the DNSEXT
  WG, which are various discussion of the DNS protocols or
  administrivia of the WG itself.

- Specific items that are not appropriate for posting

  Calls for papers, announcements of events not directly relevant to
  the DNS protocols, etc. are not appropriate.

  Discussion of problems with particular implementations,
  announcements of releases, sites' misconfiguration, pleas for help
  with specific implementations, etc.  should be done on mailing lists
  for the particular implementations.

  There is a working group for DNS operational practice, DNSOP, whose
  charter can be found at
  < http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsop-charter.html>. Items
  relevant to the DNSOP charter are to be discussed on the DNSOP
  mailing list.

  Discussion about the quality of implementations is outside the scope
  of this list.

Moderation:

  Moderator: DNSEXT chair(s) unless otherwise announced on mailing list.

  Moderation is based on "subscriber-only with spam filter". To
  counter a certain class of spam mails, messages over 20000
  characters, originating from list subscribers, will be held for
  moderations.

  Questions or concerns related to the acceptance or rejection of
  specific messages to the namedroppers mailing list should first be
  discussed with the WG chair, with follow up appeals using the normal
  appeals process of RFC 2026 (i.e. follow up with area directors, then
  IESG, etc.).
