Alex,

many of your points *are* already addressed by the document:

"3. Report is Assessed

Depending on the nature of the report, elements of the assessment 
process may include (but are not limited to):

Contacting the subject of the report to hear their side of the story"

 > -- you need to know how the coc team came to a decision

"4. Decision is Made" describes this;
+ "subject of the report should be informed."

> -- you need to be able to appeal this. (third party arbitration?)

"5. Outcomes are Applied

People who dispute the outcome of a report can contact the CoC Team to 
make an appeal. ... a different group of CoC Team members must review 
the case."

Or, maybe the next step could be the (existing) "Arbitration Process":

(*) "And by whom" is tricky...

In case of "minor" offenses, This is not necessary to reveal.

In case of more serious / personal harm occurring, hiding identity of 
the victim is often used to protect the victim from further trauma.

Alternative approach I've heard of is geared towards protecting 
*community*, and revealing identity of the victim - with the goal to 
dispense with exactly _these_ kinds of discussions we are having now, 
making it easier to keep the offenders out of the community, in order to 
prevent *NEXT* victims  of being hurt in the future... even if this 
hurts the existing victim again :(
