[diversity] [Ext] Re: *draft* CoC Team doc

Hi,

Thanks for your work on the document, Amanda!

Other than two points I left as a comment in the document, if I’m reading this right the RIPE chair will, on their own, select the members of the CoC team. How will the RIPE chair do this? What are the considerations that apply to this decision?

I also don’t see any space for someone saying “hey, I don’t think this person should be on the CoC team, for <reason>” (in private and confidential). There are definitely people in this community who I would be very uncomfortable reporting anything to. In established CoC teams, there’s at least the option of checking whether there were any previous reports about new volunteers, but we don’t have any data like that.

I’m also wondering what we can do to attract a diverse group of volunteers. It would be a poor outcome to end up with a CoC team that has little diversity, and consists mainly of usual suspects of our community - I would definitely be more reluctant to report. I don’t immediately have ideas for that.
