When I first attended a RIPE meeting, my impression was that it
was a friendly and cooperative meeting of (mostly technical)
people with an interest in the Internet.
Things appear to have changed, these days it appears to be mostly
attended by managers (some of whom used to be these erstwhile
techies), all playing their corporate roles. My impression, and
it may be wrong, is that one of the goals of the Diversity TF is
to *change* this. A CoC offence of "unbecoming a professional"
would appear to fly in the face of that goal...
