[coc-tf] RIPE NCC Elections TF Report

I think I agree with Salam.

For me, the justification text is the most difficult section. It
suggests that the RIPE Trusted Contacts should have the responsibility
of checking the records to confirm that candidates for the Executive
Board have not violated the Code of Conduct. But the RIPE NCC's Impact
Analysis for RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct 3.0 Draft includes this:

"If the CoC is accepted, as secretariat we would expect to have a role
in establishing or supporting this record-keeping system. Recognising
the potentially sensitive nature of any reports, this would need to be
handled appropriately within the RIPE NCC (restricted to a small
number of staff)."

If the actual implementation differs slightly from what is in the
justification, and the responsibility falls on one of the small group
of RIPE NCC staff responsible for maintaining the records system, the
RIPE Trusted Contacts, or successor group, should not need to play a
role in RIPE NCC Executive Board elections.

That said, I'd appreciate input from the RIPE NCC on this as I might
have misunderstood the intent of either or both documents.

Kind regards,

Leo

In this case, somebody (probably an Executive committee member will open a case, and according to the investigation, if the decision is a guilty one, the candidate must withdraw).  We just have to make sure that the list of inappropriate behavior includes the type of behaviour we saw on the mailing lists before the elections.
