<br>
Here is the draft CoC 2.0 --> <a
href="https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-of-conduct-2-0-draft">https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-of-conduct-2-0-draft</a><br>
<br>
Brian, can you please send this to HPH on behalf of the TF and get
his feedback on how we should proceed? <br>
<br>
Big shout out to Sasha for all your great work here - and thank
you to everyone who contributed. It's great to see that we have
more engagement! <br>
<br>
Warm regards, <br>
<br>
Amanda <br>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think these are good next
steps. I am a bit concerned about how to handle
the response from the wider community. We indeed
don’t want dozens of e-mails nitpicking every
word, and this is a document where that risk is
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
will do. Unless someone starts funding my work.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding the CoC team
structure, mandate, process, etc., there will be
questions if we circulate the text without this
covered, so we’d need to explain that work on
that is still ongoing. I expect this may be a
more controversial point for the community,
because it creates a new power structure that
does not entirely fall under existing
structures.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone also raised, in the
google doc comments, concerns about an option
for reconsideration of a decision by different
people, if someone feels the decision of the CoC
team was unjustified.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As I said in my recent
e-mail, I have some early ideas about the team
layout - those are in no way fixed. But I don’t
really have any ideas on mandate,
accountability, and at the same time
guaranteeing independence, preventing excessive
bureaucracy or fights on ripe-list about every
CoC decision. We do need to start working on
this to have any chance of putting something
into operation by RIPE79.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As Amanda said,
there is still the question of the
CoC team, which handles CoC
incidents, and how they get a
mandate. I have some<span

on that.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<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>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure
whether we should retain the trusted
contacts as a separate team. I guess
that could be very confusing.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The team needs to
have an independent mandate, which
includes measures like banning of a
person from a conference, or
terminating an ongoing talk.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<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>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<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
others. <o:p></o:p></p>

self-manage members?<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">And also
essential: we should prevent the CoC
team from being dragged into months
of discussion for every decision,
just because one or two people who
don’t like it stir up discussion on
a mailing list - I do see this as a
potential risk in the RIPE community
due to its structure. Also, no
process may depend on a single
person.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Folks,<br>
<br>
I'm just wondering, where do
we, collectively, believe
the action item (or similar)
lies at present with the
draft for the new CoC.<br>
<br>
From my reading there was an
amount of feedback provided,
but is the draft at a point
where it can be officially
shared with HPH, other
stakeholders and the
community, or is there more
work to do? We have under
two weeks before RIPE78
begins and I worry that we
aren't in a good place to
share our work (while
absolutely noting that
people might be waiting for
me to do something?).<br>
