Hi, I just read the draft and while I know this comment is a bit late I was a bit confused by this line under the mailing list part of the list of consequences.
1. Asked to apologise Publicly told not to repeat a kind of post
I assume this might be two separate things or what has happened here? In the email Leo sent to ripe-list on 2022-06-19[1] they said the following:
2. The RIPE Chair is a point of escalation. Making the RIPE Chair involved in decisions at an earlier stage reduces the opportunity for escalation later.
I am not exactly sure what is meant by this but I personally feel like when it comes to temporary/permanent bans from future events/meetings it should always have to be approved by the RIPE chair or RIPE vice chair. (or at least they should be given a reasonable chance to veto it) This is especially as those consequences might not have to be as immediate, so they will have a bit more time to consider it. I also hope that needing to ban someone from future events/meetings would be rare enough for this to not be a big burden on the RIPE chair team. Apologies for this very late feedback and I totally understand if it is too late for this to make it in. [1]: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/ripe-list/2022-June/002555.html -Cynthia
