following basis:

for monitoring the list and for administering any rules as required.
- Membership requests for the list will be reviewed by the list 
moderators on the following basis
  - Membership in the list will be open to any ICANN participant who 
has not been removed from any other ICANN list in the last 6 months.
  - All potential participants will be required to submit a statement 
of interest regarding their participation in the list prior to their 
subscription to the list.  All such statements will be sent to the list 
by the moderators upon enrollment.

rules:
  - Participants on the list must restrict themselves to on topic 
postings.
  - Participants must not engage in personal attacks on others

and the references in that article will be used by the list monitors as 
a reference if required.
  - The moderators will give a transgressor one private and then one 
public warning of any breach of netiquette, after which time a further 
breach will enable expulsion from the list.  Any such warning or 
expulsion by the moderators must be explicit in terms of what rules of 
email list behavior have been breached.

reinstatement after 6 months.
    It will be up to the moderators whether the applicant will be

conversations on the IDN discussion list, there will be no obligation

any recommendation made on that list.  Any question directed at the 
council will be handled by the list moderators, with council 
consultation when necessary.
