[anti-abuse-wg] Reminder: Mailing List Code of Conduct

Colleagues,

Because we wish to be very open on this, the Co-Chairs would like to remind everyone of the RIPE Mailing List/RIPE Forum Code of Conduct.

https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/ripe-mailing-list-ripe-forum-code-of-conduct

There is plenty of room for debate, discussion and even arguments on this list and in this community. What there isn't room for is attacking people, for shutting down arguments with ad hominem attacks and for choosing to be rude rather than taking the opportunity to educate. All of this is a balance, but sadly here discussion is unbalanced more frequently than it should be.

We have a great wish to see that useful discussion continue and flourish.

Where the Co-Chairs feel that there are issues, we will contact the relevant parties personally to discuss and take whatever action is deemed necessary after those discussions.

Thanks,

Brian
Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG
