As a regular reminder, this list is governed by IETF’s Working Group Procedures 
[BCP25], which also includes Anti-Harassment Procedures, and by participating 
you agree to the Note Well [NW] and to follow the Code of Conduct [CoC]. Thank 
you for contributing as part of the TLS Working Group.

As moderators of this list, the chairs are charged with determining when 
messages are “disruptive to the WG process”, phrase from RFC 3934, and, at a 
minimum, the chairs consider the following to be disruptive:
• Unsolicited bulk e-mail (from RFC 3683)
• Discussion of subjects unrelated to IETF policy, meetings, activities, or 
technical concerns (from RFC 3683)
• Unprofessional commentary, regardless of the general subject (from RFC 3683)
• Repetition of arguments without providing substantive new information 
• Requesting an unreasonable amount of work to provide information

To elaborate on unprofessional commentary, the chairs believe that this also 
includes uncivil commentary as defined by the IETF List Moderators that 
includes threats of violence, personal attacks, and derogatory language; see 
[Language].

RFC 3683 also includes “announcements of conferences, events, or activities 
that are not sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or the IETF”. Please 
contact the chairs if you wish to share these types of announcements, but in 
general the chairs do not believe they are disruptive unless they are excessive 
and lack relevance.

Reminder that if at anytime you feel that if somebody is out of line you can 
say so on list or directly to us (mailto:tls-cha...@ietf.org), the ADs 
(mailto:sec-...@ietf.org), or the Ombudsteam (mailto:ombudst...@ietf.org).

Cheers,
The Chairs
