[ICANN-EU] A word about netiquette...



Folks,

please let's stick with some basic rules of traffic reduction and
politeness.  In particular, please avoid:

- Public netiquette reminders directed to an individual member of
  this list.  You are welcome to do this in private messages.

- Inflammatory language.  If a proposal is bullshit from a (e.g.)
  technical or other point of view, feel free to point this out in
  the appropriate technical terms, and giving the appropriate
  technical reasons.

- Public "me too" or "well done" postings as replies to a message
  from someone else ("Thank you for raising this important issue.  I
  agree with you", "Your .02 cents worth looks to be a good
  investment!  Thank you for sharing it with everyone..."). The
  obvious exception here are replies to messages which were intended
  to poll list members' opinions and/or consensus on a certain
  topic.

- Postings which don't have anything to tell but your personal
  opinion ("Yes I believe you are wrong here").  When you want to
  make a point, please give a rationale why you believe you are
  right (and someone else may be wrong).

Thanks for listening,
