Article 4.7 of the RIPE Meeting Terms & Conditions ( https://www.ripe.net/about-us/legal/ripe-meeting-registration-terms-and-conditions ) states:

"4.7 The Registrant acknowledges, understands and agrees that at the Meeting people from
different experiences, backgrounds and views exchange ideas in a respectful manner and it is
expected from all participants, including the Registrant, to demonstrate tolerance and respect to
everyone. If the Registrant fails to act accordingly, the RIPE NCC reserves the right to exclude the
Registrant’s attendance from the Meeting, without being liable to pay any refund of the price of the
Ticket or any other damages."

So that's pretty clear. It can be easily amended to specifically mention the CoC when we get to that point.
