Imposing moderation globally would affect freedom of
expression,<br>
resulting into censorship based on opinion of moderators,
which also<br>
could be misleading, because nothing is fully protected from
the risks<br>
related to human factor.<br>
<br>
The discussion should be open. A possibility of ignoring some
determined<br>
email by one member should be enough to deal with unwanted
content,<br>
however, I believe this is already implemented by most email
clients.<br>
One could simply add an email to their ignore filter list and
this is<br>
enough in the most cases.<br>

whatever you do to stop such huge email chains will always

but in practice this is usually not 100% possible.<br>
> Yes it seemed that the email list was mostly in favour of
censoring one person but the reality is that the vast majority
just watched on and said nothing. In practice censoring
damages the democratic credentials of this group because a
small number of people have made the decision to do this and
an even smaller number of people will police it.<br>

position open to all kinds of criticism and the email chain

getting posts the individual can turn off notifications
without stopping the discussion for the rest of the people
i.e. The vast majority. Remember there are hundreds of people
who just observed and did not make a comment but may be
interested in both sides of the discussion. To do this before
an election is not a good idea at all, remember Russian
interference in the US and UK elections claims? It has not
gone away.<br>

to officially resolve the appointment of Hans Petter Holen as
Managing Director of the RIPE NCC.<br>
><br>
> In light of recent activity on the members-discuss
mailing list, we also resolved to place the members-discuss
mailing list in moderation until 1 June. 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.<br>

> With this resolution, the principles of the RIPE Mailing
List/RIPE Forum Code of Conduct will be applied to the
members-discuss list. Emails that do not meet the requirements
of that code of conduct will not be approved to be posted to
the list.<br>

> 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.<br>

> The moderators of the list will be the Executive Board
Secretary and one senior 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:<br>

> The Board is obviously aware that there is an election
taking place at the General Meeting and there are also matters
of importance to discuss such as the RIPE NCC Financial Report
2019 and the RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2021. We are determined
to ensure that we remain neutral in facilitating this
membership discussion list, and we also hope that members will
abide by the purpose of the list and the principles of the
code of conduct.<br>
