Nothing here ensures that the CoC enforcement team will continue to
be manned by positive and caring individuals.

When this was presented first time, my thought was "this looks more
like a band seeking revenge", and I stated so (and was yelled at).

I do feel very much at home in the RIPE community, but if we institute
a system without proper balances, I wouldn't feel comfortable anymore.
In essence, what Malcolm said.

Look at the process through the eyes of someone intent on harming 
someone else, through whatever means needed.  Is it still good?

The "other communities need this" argument has never really rang true
for me.  We're not "other communities", we're RIPE.

This is something I've liked and wholeheartly supported  (and while
not *formally* empowered, you were trusted to do the right thing, and
the NCC had all the empowerment it needed to kick out someone from
a RIPE meeting if needed).
