Dear chairs of the address policy working group,

While I applaud your willingness to provide a platform to any and all
policy proposal regardless of its merit, I must now strongly encourage you
to start reconsidering this approach or to start actively moderating
discussions on this mailing list.

I'm appalled by the level of discussion, the ad hom attacks, fallacious
argumentation (see
http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.html for
an exhaustive list), a lack of constructive attitude from both the
proposers and respondents and the almost absent attempts to keep
discussions focused.

Given that this email list is the foundation of our fabled community-driven
bottom-up policy process - and frankly, one of our few arguments to keep
top-down decision makers out of numbers policy, I expect some standards to
be maintained, and in my opinion they have been slipping, badly.

Hoping for short term improvement,

Remco
(no hats)

(and no Aleksi, I'm sure you had no ill intentions in your email, it was
just the final straw for me)
