Dear Leo, all, thank you (& the CoC drafting team) for the hard work you are putting into this! I am happy that the writing process is coming to a conclusion, and am looking forward to _finally_ have a complete framework for dealing with offensive / unpleasant / harmful behavior. I'd like to respond to some of the comments by Malcolm, Mike, Jordi & Alex: - this is a *community* self-governance process. It is not a duplication of state law framework, nor employment laws... while those still stay in place, and can be part of escalation. This is a process performed by volunteers, who have the benefit of the community at heart. Please consider volunteering, since you seem to be very passionate about justice and fairness. - this kind of process is proven to work in many other communities. - within RIPE, we had a "lite" version for several years now, called "Trusted Contacts" (TC) , and I have been one of the people "appointed" to this role: difficult job, so I got a training; it's not perfect to be appointed, nor it is perfect that I have kind-of "conflict of interest" since I work for RIPE NCC. As TC, we were not "empowered" to take any action, partially because we were not selected by the community, partially because there was no CoC framework... as we have now. Still, from the multiple years of experience, I can say that most of the reports we received would NOT have as a consequence that the "offenders" are removed from the meeting; consequences mostly were that they are "given the feedback", while keeping the identity of the complainer anonymous. I am voicing my support for the documents and the process, and I wish Leo and the team success in implementing it! Vesna
