Hi Dr. Bernstein,

Four days have passed and the IESG did not hear back from you.  Consistent with 
RFC5378 and as explained in the recent IESG statement [1], the IESG will be 
ignoring your restrictions on handling the appeal text.  In the community 
interest, your appeal has been posted to the datatracker [2].

Regards,
Roman Danyliw
(as IETF Chair, from the IESG)

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publishing your email because the text asserts that “it may not be published 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)
