[diversity] Draft CoC and response guide

Hi all,

Sasha, thanks for the comprehensive drafts!!

This is my input, speaking as an individual member of the community,
and based on my personal experience,  not as RIPE NCC staff:

My comments are mostly about the "ordering" of the parts of the
document; so I prefer to send my suggestions to the list, rather then
reshuffling the whole online document.

1. I think that the most important parts are *practical* instructions to
the person who should be reporting the incident, and therefore, I would
like to see that these sections are *moved up*: (just after "Principles")
* What to do in case of violations?
* Guidelines for reporting incidents
* Other assistance
* (& Reporting and contact information, which, IMO, should be folded
into "Other assistance")

The other sections can follow later:
- Where does it apply
(folding in "Sponsors, exhibitors..)
- What can happen
- (And special case) "reports against team member"

2. (in both documents) I believe that in the "resolutions" or "Actions"
that can be taken, one is missing -- giving a warning -- and the others
need to be given in a different order of importance: from the most
reassuring (or frequent) to the least -- and therefore I have moved the
"no action" to the bottom of the list, in the document itself.

3. The document "guidelines for response" should add:

* who is in the team? how are they chosen?
* the NAMING of the "team member", "contact", "staff member" etc should
be consistent - it's confusing who-is-doing-what
* the "sections" can use some reshuffling, e.g. "conflicts of interest"
can be moved the the back of the document...

4. What is the role of, or relation to, the existing "trusted contacts"?

(disclaimer - I am one of the "trusted contacts" now, and so I am
directly involved in handling reports right now)

I see several outcomes - that this role is considered as one of the
"other assistance" options; that it disappears; or that it is included
in the CoC-enforcement-Team... and I am open to all these, or any new,
outcomes.

5. Finally, we will - practically - need a short version too, for the
printing, one reference web page, etc -- with links to longer versions.

Vesna
