[Community-Discuss] Community expectations

[S. Moonesamy]

Dear stakeholders,

Mr Palet stated that "the only way for removing anything (even porn, 
terrorism, etc., which by the way are extreme cases, that never 
happened in any RIR or IETF mailing list,  unless I missed it), is by 
means of a court order."  I could not find any RFC or other document 
which states that the IETF requires a court order to remove an email 
from its mailing list archives.  Is there a reference to fact-check 
that statement?

An email cannot be easily removed once it is sent as the sender does 
not have any control over the receiver's mailbox.  It is technically 
possible to remove an email from a mailing list archive.  What are 
the community expectations on the removal of an email from the 
AFRINIC web site?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
