[diversity] [ripe-list] Towards a more inclusive community

Hi Hans,

I can tell you that I've been harassed in this RIR and another RIR meetings, both by email and in person, just because I'm contributing. Just because my views in my policy proposal are different than the view of other people.

People yelled me in the mic, insulted me by email, but the most terrible thing was trying to scare me with "you will return home in a box" if you keep going this path.

Of course, I'm not scared at all, but I'm sure some people could feel scared, not come to meetings and even more, stop contributing in the lists.

Regards,
Jordi

    Indeed.  I am clueless since I haven't seen a single incident message 
    among the various mailing lists.  I would expect that RIPE should name 
    and shame those harassing people at meetings.    I am truly speechless 
    that this goes on in 2019.
