[coc-tf] CoC Process and Next Steps

Hi,

Antony, Kjerstin, and I met earlier today. These are some lightweight
notes. Kjerstin will provide proper minutes later.

We reviewed the updated draft process. The key change in this is that
only significant breaches of the Code of Conduct will be reported to
the RIPE Chair Team and the RIPE NCC before actions are taken.

We made some changes to the section dealing with data during the
meeting. We were advised that we cannot just make a statement that the
record system will comply with the law. We need to state how long the
RIPE NCC will keep records for. The update we made recognises minor
and major breaches of the Code of Conduct.

The records system will always keep data that does not identify
individuals to allow trend analysis. It will keep information
identifying an individual for a minor breach for 12 months. It will
keep information identifying an individual for a major breach for 24
months. If a person is permanently barred from attending RIPE events
or posting to RIPE lists, it will need to keep information on them
indefinitely. Otherwise, that action could not be implemented.

We intend to publish the updated draft as soon as possible. We would
like the RIPE NCC's legal team to review it before publishing but if
that is not possible, we plan to publish next week.

We have a blog post drafted. It presents a fairly concise summary,
asks two questions, and asks the community to provide any feedback
they have. We'd like to have a three week comment period on the draft.

We agreed that it made sense to propose a Code of Conduct BoF for RIPE
84. The focus in the proposal to the RIPE Programme Committee will be:
1. Present the proposed Code of Conduct Team recruitment process,
based on the one used for the Arbiters
2. Present the Code of Conduct Team training plans and estimated time commitment
3. Discussion - which could include discussion on the process document
if significant issues are raised on the RIPE Discussion List

I will draft a proposal for the BoF and circulate it.

Kind regards,

Leo
