Rule(s)
- 22.1 The ALAC discussion lists and its other online collaborative spaces serve two purposes.
...
- They are where we discuss ICANN-related policy issues and attend to
...
- administrative tasks related to the management of ALAC.22.2 Content that is acceptable in our online collaborative spaces is defined as:
- 22.3 Discussion on ICANN-related policy issues,
- 22.4 Discussion of ALAC administrative matters,
- 22.5 Announcements of conferences, events, or activities related to ICANN matters.
- 22.6 Inappropriate postings include:
- 22.7 Unsolicited bulk e-mail,
- 22.8 Discussion of subjects unrelated to ICANN policy, meetings, activities, or
...
- technical concerns,
- 22.9 Unprofessional commentary, regardless of the general subject,
- 22.10 Postings libellous being used to abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others,
- 22.11 Postings that are, knowingly false, ad-hominem, or misrepresents another person,
- 22.12 Postings that violate an obligation of confidentiality,
- 22.13 Postings that violate the privacy of others,
- 22.14 Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are not related to
...
- ICANN matters.
- 22.15 The ALAC Chair is empowered to suspend or restrict a person's posting rights
...
- when the content that person has posted is inappropriate and represents a pattern of abuse.
...
- The Chair defines and determines inappropriate content on a case-by-case basis.
...
- Our definitions are not limited to this list. If the Chair suspends posting rights or deletes
...
- a comment or link, they will say so and explain why. When determining the duration
...
- of the suspension, the Chair is required to take into account the overall nature of
...
- the postings by an individual and whether particular postings are an aberration or typical.
- 22.16 Occasionally, a participant may engage in what amounts to a "denial-of-service"
...
- attack to disrupt the consensus-driven process. Typically, these attacks are made
...
- by repeatedly posting messages that are off-topic, inflammatory, or otherwise counterproductive, and the Chair may choose to revoke the participant's posting rights.
...
- In contrast, good faith disagreement is a healthy part of the consensus-driven process.
...
- For example, if the group is unable to reach consensus, this is an acceptable,
...
- albeit unfortunate, outcome; however, if that group fails to achieve consensus because it
...
- is being continuously disrupted, then the disruption constitutes an abuse of
...
- the consensus-driven process. Interactions of this type are fundamentally different from
...
- "the lone voice of dissent" in which a participant expresses a view that is discussed
...
- but does not achieve consensus. In other words, individual bad faith should not
...
- trump community goodwill.
