DANIEL fucking BERNSTEIN is banned from developing crypto protocols? IETF has jumped the shark.

I think this is my first post to the list, and I haven't been following it lately, but I can't see how the cited posts are disruptive. It appears there is an ongoing technical disagreement, but that by itself is not disruption, but rather a part of the normal consensus-forming process.

Is this about the copyright notice?

The TLS Chairs have, after consultation with the ADs, decided to moderate the postings of D. J. Bernstein for 30 days due to continued disruptive behavior [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] as allowed by the IESG statement on the intentional inclusion of a derivative works in list emails [1].  This comes after previous public warnings for disruptive behaviour [2][3].

This action is taken under BCP9 / RFC3934 Section 2, with the exception that moderation instead of suspension of all posting rights is applied. Postings by D. J. Bernstein will be held for moderation and after confirmation by the TLS Chairs of being on topic and not disruptive, will be released to the list.

Please note that release of messages to the TLS list may take up to two working days.

On behalf of the TLS Chairs,

Joe, Sean, and Deirdre
