Re: [ripe-list] [diversity] Two Documents from the Code of Conduct Task Force
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 14 Sep '22

Extra points (clicked too fast send) ... very important ones in my opinion, regarding the appointment of CoC Team members. 1) Don't see the need to ask for one person from the community, and it is fair easy to fake (again same point regarding enforcement). 2) I don't agree that the Chair is the one to appoint CoC members. It should be the community (and this will solve 1 above). 3) I even less agree on "own discretion", it is prone o subjectivity, "my friends", etc., we have seen this happening already many times, here and in the IETF. Is not right, and it is discriminatory. Again, 2, solves this. 4) I'm not convinced there is an objective way to judge "emotional intelligence", and even if there is, I feel this is discriminatory, the same as considering age and gender. Again, 2 above, will solve this.

I think we should have some text on that. 2) I don't agree that the CoC Team, even being different persons, is the right way to take care of possible Appeals. 3) I don't think is right to "permanently" ban anyone. It is like long-term prison, and everyone can make a mistake and correct the situation or his behavior. I understand that this will happen only in expectational circumstances, however, I feel that just having "for a period of time" is a more prudent path. 4) Is not clear to me if someone removed from a f2f event will also be banned from the mailing lists. I understand that not? 5) I don't think it makes any sense to "remove" someone from a virtual event. I will agree in only disallowing him to speak up. 6) Same a 3 above, I don't think anyone can be removed permanently from a mailing list. In fact, if he/she want to keep participating, it is plain easy to create an alternative email and rejoin, even if not posting. Similarly, can happen 5 above. Should we be realistic in what we can enforce?

RIPE Discussion Mailing List Moderation and Archives
by Mirjam Kuehne 09 Sep '22

09 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, In light of recent events on this mailing list, I have put together some thoughts on moderation and a proposed way forward. I will put this topic on the agenda for the RIPE 85 Community Plenary. Context On 22 July, a highly offensive racist email was sent to the RIPE Discussion List. This mail clearly violates the RIPE Code of Conduct. After discussion with the RIPE NCC, we decided to enable moderation on the list. On 23 July, people who had responded to the offender, notably myself, the RIPE NCC’s Chief Community Officer, and another RIPE community member, were sent further offensive mails by this person and were subjected to ‘subscription bombing’ attacks (many thousands of mailing list subscription requests sent to our inboxes). List Moderation All mails sent to <ripe-list(a)ripe.net> have been held for moderation since this incident. They are reviewed by either Niall O’Reilly or myself (as the RIPE Chair Team) before they are allowed through to the list. The RIPE community has always been open to everyone and it has a demonstrated ability to self-govern. We therefore view our decision here as quite a severe one. Nevertheless, we have received a lot of support from community members for these actions. With that support in mind, we propose that we continue with moderation of the list until at least RIPE 85. The moderation queue will be reviewed at least once a day, and together Niall and I will decide how to proceed. If one of us is unavailable, we will coordinate with other community members to ensure that we always have more than one person available to moderate the list. I will also provide a transparency report to keep the community informed of activities and decisions ‘behind the scenes’ (i.e. whether mails have been held/rejected and how many). So far, no mails have been rejected without us first contacting the original sender. This helps to increase understanding of the process. However, it will ultimately be the moderators who decide if a mail is rejected or not. Offensive or Illegal Mails We will remove the mail from 22 July from the RIPE List archives. This message has no content beyond its aim to cause offense. Modifying archives is not something we do lightly. In this case, we believe it is important to avoid the implication that this kind of language is acceptable to us as a community, especially for anyone reading the archives in the future. Rather than simply removing the mail, I asked the RIPE NCC to move the content of the URL in question and replace it with an explanation that makes it clear that a message has been taken out and why. This would also apply to another mail sent in response, as it quoted the offensive mail. We also understand that the offensive email is illegal under Dutch law. Because the RIPE NCC maintains the public archives of our mailing lists, it is regarded as a hosting provider and with this comes an obligation to remove unlawful content from its public infrastructure. Future Archives Some community members have suggested that we set up an ‘unmoderated archive’, which is similar to how the RIPE NCC Member Discussion List is currently set up. I agree that this is a workable solution that supports transparency. It means that the complete archives, including any rejected mails, will be available under a different URL that is separate from the regular RIPE List archives. We propose not indexing these unmoderated archives so they do not appear in search engines. We will also add a warning to this page so that people are informed that they might find rude or offensive content in the unmoderated archives. We believe such an approach is important for transparency, while at the same time avoiding receiving offensive emails that undermine the important work of our community. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair

RIPE NCC Executive Board Selects New Chair
by Hans Petter Holen 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Dear colleagues, Ondřej Filip has been appointed Chair of the RIPE NCC Executive Board following Christian Kaufmann’s decision to step down as Chairman. Ondřej will serve as Chair from 1 September. He has served on the Board for three years and as Treasurer since 2020. Over the course of his career, he has served on the boards of many Internet-related bodies and has more than 20 years of experience in the telecommunications industry. Christian, who has served as Chairman for four years and as a Board member since 2011, is officially stepping down in September after being selected to serve a three-year term on Seat 10 of the ICANN Board of Directors. To enable a smooth transition, a new Chair has been appointed to allow for a transfer period and Christian will remain a member of the RIPE NCC Executive Board until his term ends in May 2023. With Ondřej’s appointment as Chair, Raymond Jetten will become Treasurer. Piotr Strzyżewski remains as Secretary and Remco van Mook remains as NRO EC representative, while Maria Häll becomes the Community Projects Fund representative. I would like to thank Christian for his work as RIPE NCC Executive Board Chairman and for his time and dedication in serving as a Board member for over a decade. And I look forward to continuing to have an excellent relationship with Ondřej and the rest of the Board. Kind regards, Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC
