[diversity] [ripe-list] Updated Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Published for Community Review

Hi all,

Firstly, thank you to all who worked on this. It looks good to me.

In reply to Sander and Sasha: currently the CoC says the reporting 
party, and not the CoC Team, is responsible, if they wish, to make a 
report to the relevant authorities. It also says the CoC could do so, if 
they think it is reasonable. If the authorities cannot do anything with 
this report without a victim (this is the case in some (most?) 
jurisdictions), then it is up to the authorities to handle this further 
- they could choose to contact the victim etc. It's out of our hands, so 
why debate it? Also, I think a CoC cannot preclude a party (whether it 
is a victim or not) from filing a report with the authorities. It just 
doesn't have that power.

Lastly, I second other people on this list's confusion about why the PC 
should have anything to do with the approval/applicability of the CoC, 
in events where there is a PC. Why would they want to have this 
responsibility? As far as I know it is not currently in any of their 
Charters. I'd be curious to hear what they think about this. I support 
other's suggestion to leave that part out.

Cheers,
Gergana
