[governance] Fleming => Caucus Meetings in Tunis

[William Drake]

Hi,

Agree with Jeanette.  This sort of thing comes up on lots of lists, there
are always calls to block trolls, there is rarely agreement on what to do,
and blocking efforts tend to generate a lot of post hoc friction toward
the list owners.  I understand the burden it imposes on slow downloads but
would suggest that ignore/delete remain the default.  The odd thing I
haven't figured out is that Avri and I get maybe 3-4 pairs of
notifications per week that he has subscribed and unsubscribed.  Guess he
does this each time he wants to send.

Jeanette is also right that we have to have a future of the caucus
discussion in Tunis.  Have we reserved any time and space for caucus
meetings?  Could we try to ensure that this doesn't compete with parallel
events many of us will be involved in?

Best,

Bill
