To my best knowledge, no such attacks were happening.

It is not "attacks on nominees of other stakeholder communities" when
questions are raised about what boundary lines are used to differentiate
between different stakeholder categories, and/or about whether a certain
UN General Assembly resolution has been interpreted in accordance with
what it actually says.

Those are legitimate topics of discussion.

According to the IGC Charter, it is not acceptable when someone works
to derail such discussion by means of personal attacks and/or other
related tactics.

Since you obviously have no intention to change your stance, and you
have in fact continued to (re)post accusations even after the public
warning, the 30 days suspension of posting rights as foreseen by the
Charter is now coming into effect. 

For the sake of fairness, I think that there needs to be an exception in
case you wish to make an appeal, since (except for the case of removal
from the IGC list, in which case there's an automatic appeal) an appeal
requires four co-signers. So if you wish to make an appeal, you're
welcome to put together a message which solicits co-signers for the
appeal, and send that to me, and I'd post it for you.

Greetings,
Norbert
