                        more significant than your average RIPE
                        document. Also because there is a limited amount
                        of time and energy I can put into responding and
                        explaining things - responding to comments from
                        8 people on this list is still quite doable, but
                        if there’s going to be 40 people commenting on
                        the RIPE list, there’s limits to what I can and

                        that is still ongoing. I expect this may be a

                                  <p class="MsoNormal">As I’ve argued
                                    before, I think this role should not
                                    rest with the WG chairs or with the
                                    RIPE chair. The best option is
                                    likely a specific CoC team.
                                    Considering the structure of this
                                    community with a mix of online
                                    spaces and conferences, my first
                                    thought is one team, of which at
                                    least 4 people should be present and
                                    available at any RIPE meeting.
                                    Attending (all) RIPE meetings should
                                    not be a requirement, as RIPE
                                    meetings are not accessible to all,
                                    so it would be exclusionary. Having
                                    a single team helps some continuity,
                                    ongoing development, and
                                    consistency.<o:p></o:p></p>

                                    have an independent mandate, which
                                    includes measures like banning of a

                                  <p class="MsoNormal">Regarding who
                                    should be in it, I’m not sure how to
                                    work that out within the governance
                                    models of the RIPE community. In
                                    Django, the first CoC committee was
                                    formed ages ago, and mostly
                                    consisted of people involved in
                                    introducing the CoC at the time. The
                                    committee self-governs, asking for
                                    new volunteers when needed. The
                                    committee has a mandate from the
                                    board of the Django Software
                                    Foundation, and is also accountable
                                    to them. That board is in turn
                                    elected by the membership of that
                                    foundation. So in general there is
                                    self-management and delegation of
                                    mandate, but with accountability and
                                    reporting. The board can intervene
                                    if needed. I believe the Python
                                    Software Foundation has or is
                                    working on a similar model.<o:p></o:p></p>

                                  <p class="MsoNormal">CoC team members
                                    also need to know what they’re
                                    getting into, and ensure they have
                                    sufficient availability. Especially
                                    on-site at a meeting, action may
                                    need to happen fast. Which means
                                    being reachable and able to change
                                    plans suddenly. Also, CoC work can
                                    be emotionally intense. Sometimes
                                    it’s really hard to decide whether
                                    it’s a violation and what should be
                                    done, sometimes incidents occur that
                                    are very serious and have a heavy
                                    impact. A lot of empathy work is
                                    involved. It also means your own
                                    behaviour is under the heaviest
                                    scrutiny of pretty much anyone at
                                    the conference, because as a team
                                    member you set the example of what
                                    is acceptable. This extends to every
                                    interaction related to the
                                    conference. It means you absolutely
                                    can not get a bit drunk at the party
                                    and blurt out a few sexist jokes -
                                    if we fail to set an example, the
                                    process falls apart (the #1 reason
                                    for me not to report incidents is
                                    because I don’t trust the response
                                    team). And, not everyone will like
                                    every decision you make, so
                                    especially team members from
                                    minority groups are at an increased
                                    risk of abusive behaviour from

                                            but is the draft at a point
                                            where it can be officially

                                            stakeholders and the
