The IESG recognizes that the moderating of IETF mailing lists is a
sometimes necessary and approriate tool to help manage WG activities.
As with other WG activities, if you disagree with a particular aspect
of how a WG is being managed, you should first take your specific
complaint to the chairs (dnsind has two of them). If this does not
result in a satisfactory resolution of the issue, you can appeal to
the appropriate Area Director(s), etc.
