Hi all,

Technical discussion and technical disagreement is fine. However, during such discussion we expect respect and courtesy to IETF colleagues at all times.

In general, I'd like to remind the following guidelines from https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp54

   1. IETF participants extend respect and courtesy to their colleagues at all times.
   2. IETF participants have impersonal discussions.
   3. IETF participants devise solutions for the global Internet that meet the needs of diverse technical and operational environments.

Please read BCP54: it's short and to the point.
Thank you for carefully choosing your words and sentences. Especially when the topic is subject to different point of views, such as those based on a different use cases, environments, experiences... Words and sentences received as offensive is not helping making your argument, nor building a constructive discussion, nor progressing the resolution.

Thank you
Bruno

Annex (1):
What in uncivil behavior?
There are some test you might apply
-Would I like it if it was done to me?
-Would I do it to someone else?
-How would I feel if it was done to my spouse/child/parent?
-Does it violate social norms?
-Is it rude / bullying / bad taste?
-How might a timid newcomer react if they see it?
Does it stifle debate
-Robust debate is good
-Shutting people down/out is bad

(1) Thanks for its author. I'm not citing him to avoid dragging him in the discussion.
