I don't believe this needs to be in this bulleted list

Is the coala Code of Conduct Committee ever defined anywhere? Maybe we should clarify what it is?

Maybe add something like "Which part of the CoC specificaly do you think was violated?"? Should be clear in most cases, but just to be sure.

I think this is good as it is needed for a coc violation and helps us to make faster decisions.

+the "This issue is confidential and should only be visible to team members with
+at least Reporter access." checkbox.  We strive to keep all issues confidential.
+


maybe also enable emails to the coc email? If they are, for whatever reason unable to create issues. We can create the issues ourselves in those (hopefully rare) cases.

We don't have coc email. Should it just come from community email then?

I'm not sure only the community team leader can read the community mails so this would be a privacy problem.

in regards to online bullying, this might not only be physical safety but general well being.

Right now, The Commitee consists of the BDFL, the community team leader and the coc maintainer. So this point is obsolete. Also maybe define the commitee somewhere?

I can remove this part. Will add a section of who the committee are.

+In the event of any conflict of interest, or when the incident involves one of
+coala Code of Conduct Committee, the member must immediately notify the other
+members, and recuse themselves if necessary.


This might lead to all members leaving (if they are all involved) and thus, leading to no action, which is not desirable.

Maybe when such conflict of interest happens, the member can appoint another non-conflicted coala member to act in their place?
I just want to make sure that the people making decision is as neutral as possible.

Replacing people has permission implications, such as incoming member having access to old cases about them, and how to prevent the conflicted member from participating (reading) the case potentially involving them, and what to do if there are two cases concurrently, only one with a conflict.

The stand-in is also not going to settle in quickly to meet deadlines mentioned above.

A permanent stand-by non-voting member would reduce these issues.

In my experience it is better to remove the conflicted member immediately, and proceed promptly with a reduced bench, and then reinstate conflicted member or permanently replace them if report warrants it.

Maybe add that reports might be forwarded to the police (or similar) if we find it appropriate/necessary.

Should we include some kind of minor penalty for frivolous complaints? Only for the absolutely ridiculous ones.

This would be hard to get 'right'.

Are there other CoC that have included something like that?

If not, I think we should consider that when we've actually seen it occur.
