Hi Brian, all, After getting some initial feedback from Legal, I have a couple of questions: 1. From an earlier discussion, I think we said we might want to have some record of people who were the subject of a report but didn't quite cross the threshold for actions being applied. This was so the CoC Team could be aware of people who repeatedly go right up to the line without actually crossing it. Perhaps after a number of repeat reports, the CoC Team might eventually apply actions that it wouldn't have if it was an isolated case. With that in mind, would it be good to include in a line that ALL reports will be kept for a minimum period? I'm thinking this could be two RIPE Meetings (whether this ends up being 12 or 18 months) - provided this is okay in terms of the legal stuff. 2. Legal has also asked whether we would keep any supporting information used for investigations (photos, video, messages) and advised that we might want to clarify this in the text. My initial thought is that once the CoC Team has finished assessing a report, it could archive a summary its decision and delete all of the supporting information - though perhaps this summary could outline what kind of evidence was used to support the CoC Team's decision. Thoughts?
