<span>Ok, I think that we can tighten up that line. My very hazy recollection is that it's meant to acknowledge humanity etc. but I do understand that concern people have. I mean, it could be replaced by "Members of the CoC Team are required to exercise discretion
when assessing reports. Information should only be shared outside the group when absolutely necessary for the proper assessment of the report."</span></div>

<span>Anyway, there's a suggestion. I'm glad some people are discussing it in the Telegram chat, but given that seems to be a basically unmoderated informal space, they've also got to engage with us at some point. (I say informal because in the 1 minute I browsed
it this morning I saw at least one message that contained content that should have been called out and was, instead, liked by one of the admins...</span></div>

Hi again,<br>
<br>
This discussion is also taking place on Telegram (see attached). I<br>
believe some of you are on that channel?<br>
<br>
On one hand some people may be misreading the sentence as it is quoted<br>
as "try their best" where it actually says "will do their best".<br>
<br>
On the other hand, people are suggesting to use a stronger word such as<br>
MUST. And possibly "confidential" instead of "discreet".<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Mirjam<br>
<br>
