I found this an impressive collection of documents. There's clearly
been a lot of careful thought put into this code.

I particularly like the "Our Community" section at the start,
especially the first bullet about being open.

The summary of process in the Python code goes from #4 (Evaluate the
reported incident) to #5 (Propose a behavioral modification plan) and
#6 (Propose consequences for the reported behavior). It is only at
this point that there's an acknowledgement that a report could be in
error. I think that for clarity of communication, we should make sure
the process itself does not appear to pre-judge the outcome.

The section on decision making is useful input to us in a couple of
contexts. Firstly, they require a 2/3 majority in a vote of the Code
of Conduct WG when deciding on behavioral modification plans and
consequences for violation of the code. If we chose to adopt this
model it would mean a significantly larger team than the current
Trusted Contacts team, which was previously three members and is now
two. This is because the vote needs to be possible if a member has a
conflict of interest or is unavailable. Presumably, this means at
least four people in the Code of Conduct team.

Many thanks,
