I guarantee you the Communications Committee is on the job. What's more, they are doing a GREAT job - for no money and apparently no gratitude. It is worse than thankless, no matter what they do they will be derided. Filter someone and they get flamed. Leave someone allowed to post and they get reamed. I'm shocked anyone would actually want the job.
So why can't the Communications Committee do a little communicating. Sure it's thankless work if you do it in secret and in silence. But the occasional message to the list wouldn't hurt. People WOULD feel thankful if they see that the CC is making an attempt.
So, I propose a new rule: To flame the CC, you MUST have volunteered to be on the CC.
Right, so you are an unvolunteer on the CC. Why do we only hear from unvolunteers?
Hello: The Communications Committee follows a published procedure for handling violations of the AUP, found at http://www.nanog.org/governance/communications/warningpolicy.php. The process is not instantaneous, but is designed to insure we are not acting with undue haste when taking action against a particular list participant. We are always open to suggestions and comments regarding the process and the best forum for that is nanog-futures. This is also an appropriate venue for discussing the idea of more formal and/or frequent notifications from the Communications Committee regarding actions we have taken. Kind Regards, Michael Smith On behalf of the Communications Committee
