This note acknowledges receipt of your email. We note that rights handling is part of your appeal topic. The IESG would like to handle this appeal per our documented process [1] and post the text at [2]. Your text suggested the IETF is restricted from publishing your email because the text asserts that “it may not be published except as an Internet-Draft” using Legend Instructions from RFC5378. The IESG wants to get to the substance of your appeal and avoid seeking the necessary reviews to adjudicate the handling of standard IETF rights clauses with additional commentary, or answering how to address the fact that your inbound email has already been published at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/tls/lgTH_NZFfJxbsA0nfvvD7lRoukE/ (which is not an Internet Draft) at the onset of processing.
Could you please resubmit your appeal without this text or any non-derivative works claims? Regards, Roman Danyliw (as IETF Chair) [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/statement-iesg-statement-on-the-conflict-resolution-and-appeals-processes/ [2] https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/iesg/appeals/ -----Original Message----- From: D.
