[COC-discuss] Classification framework

[Rob Emanuele]

Chiming in just to say, +1 on those two suggested next steps.

I'm not sure if anyone would take issue with using Google forms as opposed
to an open source reporting system run on OSGeo infrastructure (given the
recent discussions on OSGeo-Discuss about code hosting), but I think that
the ease of use for Google forms would make it a great choice.

The article on enforcement is very thorough, and I think it provides a good
method to approach enforcement in a reasoned and de-escalating way. The
line "Generally conference staff are not equipped for evidence gathering:
we suggest not going around and "interviewing" others involved." The
enforcers are not detectives or the police, and it makes sense that the
sole focus of any actions would be "*the safety of your community members
from harassment*".

Thanks, Cameron.

We are not looking to make any changes to the CoC at this point. Our job is
to:


   1. put together process around how members can submit reports of CoC
   violations
   2. create specific guidance for LOCs, moderators and the board about how
   to deal with those reports and reporters.

We put together a list of places to start here -
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CodeofConduct_Documents#Resources

I suggest we:

   1. use this form as a starting point for Task #1 -
   https://www.drupal.org/governance/community-working-group/incident-report
   (not sure if its ok to use Google Forms, that's what drupal.org uses)
   2. start an Enforcement page (useful info here
   http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Responding_to_reports
   )

What do you think? Is anyone else out there? if so, please chime in!
