+Abstract
+
+   The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) discussion mailing list
+   furthers the development and specification of Internet technology
+   through discussion of technical issues, and hosts discussions of IETF
+   direction, policy, meetings, and procedures.  As this is the most
+   general IETF mailing list, considerable latitude is allowed.
+   Advertising, whether to solicit business or promote employment
+   opportunities, falls well outside the range of acceptable topics, as
+   do discussions of a personal nature.
+
+Charter for the IETF Discussion List
+
+   The IETF discussion list, ietf@ietf.org, serves two purposes.  It
+   furthers the development and specification of Internet technology
+   through discussion of technical issues.  It also hosts discussions of
+   IETF direction, policy, meetings, and procedures.  As this is the
+   most general IETF mailing list, considerable latitude is allowed.
+   Advertising, whether to solicit business or promote employment
+   opportunities, falls well outside the range of acceptable topics, as
+   do discussions of a personal nature.
+
+   This list is meant for initial discussion only.  Discussions that
+   fall within the area of any working group or well established list
+   should be moved to such more specific forum as soon as this is
+   pointed out, unless the issue is one for which the working group
+   needs wider input or direction.

+
+
+   In addition to the topics noted above, appropriate postings include:
+
+    - Last Call discussions of proposed protocol actions
+    - Discussion of technical issues that are candidates for IETF work,
+      but do not yet have an appropriate e-mail venue
+    - Discussion of IETF administrative policies
+    - Questions and clarifications concerning IETF meetings
+    - Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are
+      sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or IETF.
+
+   Inappropriate postings include:
+
+    - Unsolicited bulk e-mail
+    - Discussion of subjects unrelated to IETF policy, meetings,
+      activities, or technical concerns
+    - Unprofessional commentary, regardless of the general subject
+    - Announcements of conferences, events, or activities that are not
+      sponsored or endorsed by the Internet Society or IETF.
+
+   The IETF Chair, the IETF Executive Director, or a sergeant-at-arms
+   appointed by the Chair is empowered to restrict posting by a person,
+   or of a thread, when the content is inappropriate and represents a
+   pattern of abuse.  They are encouraged to take into account the
+   overall nature of the postings by an individual and whether
+   particular postings are an aberration or typical.  Complaints
+   regarding their decisions should be referred to the IAB.
