Under the RIPE NCC Arbitration process, there is a means by which
community volunteers (who are not NCC employees) are formally 
indemnified against potential legal blowback of any decisions they make.

Parties to the arbitration are required to commit to this when entering 
into a dispute resolution. It does seem appropriate that a similar such 
indemnification measure should be in place for CoC volunteer officers, 
it that is not already envisaged.
