As discussed recently, I've set up a new mailinglist 'modevents'
and amended the welcome message for this list as follows:

--snip---------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Discuss at openiso.org mailing list! The OpenISO.org
review of OOXML (see http://OpenISO.org/OI/CFP-F29500:2007 ) takes
place on this mailing list. In addition, general disucssion of the
OpenISO.org vision and draft guideliness is welcome.

A high level of professional courtesy is expected of all participants.
If violations of this expectation threaten to discrupt the
fact-oriented nature of the discussions, the transgressors will be
"moderated" (i.e. the mailing list system would hold future postings
from them for checking and manual approval by a "moderator" who will
check that the postings are ---in his or her reasonable judgement---
not rude or otherwise disruptive). In order to prevent such moderation
from resulting in a severe loss of transparency and accountability,
any and all "moderation events" will be publicly disclosed on the
modevents mailing list (see
http://OpenISO.org/mailman/listinfo/modevents ) which can also be used
for (totally unmoderated) discussion of moderation decisions and
policy if such discussion is desired.

Greetings,
Norbert.
