Hello,

FYI: The below policy has been formally adopted by MLC as enforcement
policy. Copy of the original email follows (with cosmetic change to 
reflect renaming of nanog-admin@ to admins@).

Also, reminder that on Sunday (tomorrow) at 5:30 at the conference we will
have a community meeting, which is the place to discuss anything regarding
NANOG (including the mailing list administration, and this policy). If you
are interested, do show up!

Subject: Proposed AUP Enforcement policy

Hello,

MLC is trying to formalize the rules on our protocol how the AUP will be
enforced. I would like to circulate the following draft to the community 
and see if it can be improved before MLC approves it.

Feel free to provide feedback, and/or show up at community BOF tomorrow!



--cut here-- 

1. Any member of the MLC MAY warn any subscriber regarding any violation
of the AUP.  Such email MUST detail which AUP rule is being violated, and
MUST be sent directly to subscriber, with a copy to admins@nanog.org.

a. If any member of the MLC objects to a warning sent to a subscriber,
they SHOULD reply to admins@nanog.org, not copying subscriber.

b. Subscriber MAY appeal a warning by emailing the admins@nanog.org.

c. After discussion, MLC chair SHOULD call a vote to see if warning should
be withdrawn. If majority agrees, warning will be withdrawn and subscriber
will be notified accordingly. Warnings may not be further appealed to the
Steering Committee.

2. In case of repeat offenders (defined as: "receiving third warning
within 12 month period"), MLC chair SHOULD call for suspend/ban vote. Vote
process detailed below.

a. Any MLC member MAY call for a vote to suspend/ban based on a single
violation.

b. Vote process detailed: upon discussion, MLC chair SHALL call a vote.
Each MLC member MUST cast vote as follows: "no action"/"suspend"/"ban".
Vote for "ban" counts also as vote for "suspend". If there is a simple
majority voting for "suspend" (but no majority to ban), user SHOULD be
suspended (for 30 days). If there is a majority to ban, user SHOULD be
banned.

c. Votes should be conducted by MLC on admins@nanog.org.

d. After conclusion of each vote, MLC chair SHALL inform the subject of
the vote about the result.

3. As a guideline, MLC should treat first violation of AUP paragraph #4,5
more severely than other rules. As a guideline, first violation of rules #
2,3,6,7 should result only in a warning. 

4. MLC decision to suspend or remove posting privileges, MAY be appealed
to the Steering Committee via email to steering@nanog.org, by any direct
party to the action.  Appeals should restrict themselves to, and provide
as much, relevant documentation as possible.

--Alex (Acting MLC Chair)
