Status update and discussion on webinar format
by Leo Vegoda 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Dear CoC TF, This message is a reminder that we have paused regularly scheduled meetings while people are taking time away from work and home during the summer. But we are continuing to work using this list. There is no meeting tomorrow, even if Apple Calendar is adamant that there is 😉 I also want to share an update on two work items the RIPE NCC has taken on. The first is to do some analysis of RIPE mailing list traffic patterns over the last three years. By looking at what times of day and what days of the week messages have been sent we can get a better understanding of the time zone support we need to incorporate into the future Code of Conduct team. The second is to investigate training options. There are two parts to this. The first part is expanding the scope of the training beyond what was given to the original Trusted Contacts. Their training focused on them being a 'confidant' but did not extend into evaluating reports and (if necessary) proposing plans to modify future behaviour. The second part of this is to make sure that anyone taking on the role can take the training without having to travel internationally. Finally, I have shared a document that expands on my initial draft agenda for the webinar we have scheduled for 1 September. I have some specific questions to ask but please give any feedback that you consider useful. Our goal is to make this the most effective webinar we can deliver. 1. Are you happy with the concept for the format? 2. If you are happy with the concept for the format, would you be happy speaking on the topic I allocated or would you prefer a different topic - or none? 3. Would you change the order of the agenda? Do you feel that a topic scheduled towards the end should be brought forwards or vice versa? 4. If you are happy with the format, who would you like to chair the session? Many thanks, Leo

We didn’t discuss putting wording like that at the end of the document.

I think we should send a reminder a week before the webinar. That should give people two weeks to read, listen, think and write feedback before your decision.

Announcing updated CoC
by Antony Gollan 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Dear TF members, We're ready to publish the updated draft+labs article. However, the RIPE Chair has suggested it would be good to take the summer period into account and have the webinar/deadline for comments in September. Regarding the timeline, how about the following: - Very soon (today/tomorrow) publish labs article/updated draft - Webinar: 3 September (~13:00 UTC) - Deadline for comments: 17 September If this timeline works, then it might be better to hold off on publishing the registration form for the webinar until August. It seems a bit odd asking people to register 2 months in advance, and some might forget by then. Instead, we could note that we're planning a webinar for early September in the labs article/announcement and share the details closer to then. Let me know what you think. PS: I'll ask Karla to handle these last bits, as I'm currently on vacation for the next ten days - she's subscribed to this list. Cheers Ant

Heads up: updated draft being announced tomorrow
by Leo Vegoda 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Hi, Karla has got the updated draft up on the website here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/copy_… A RIPE Labs article will go up tomorrow and when that is published I will send an announcement to the RIPE Discussion list, copied to the Diversity TF list. The Labs article will also be shared on social media. Kind regards, Leo
