Subject: Impact analisys of the new Code of Conduct

The diversity task force has published a draft of a new code of conduct
(CoC). Before moving this forward I would like to request an impact
assesment from the RIPE NCC for the community to understand if there is an
impact on the RIPE NCC and if this impact can be accepted.
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-o…
For the record, I would also like to point out that there is an existing
code of conduct in place:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-o…
The new code of conduct does however specify how the Trusted Contacts (now
Code of Conduct team) is appointed and outlines in more details what
actions can be taken.
It can be argued that all theese actions can be taken allready, by the
Trusted Contacts, RIPE Chair, PC and RIPE NCC meeting organisers today, but
the new CoC makes this explicit.
Yours sincerely,
Hans Petter Holen
RIPE Chair

Hi,
It appears that the Serbian president is currently attempting to
cancel the EuroPride 2022 event that the Serbian PM earlier committed
to fully support[1].
I feel like hosting RIPE meetings in countries that would try to
cancel pride events, seemingly at least in part because of anti-LGBTQ+
protesters is not great if we want to increase diversity and
inclusivity.
Sure, it is a lot better than when it was decided to host one in the
UAE a few years ago but that is a pretty low bar.
To further increase diversity and inclusion, I think it would make
sense to require that the RIPE meetings are only hosted in
cities/countries that support LGBTQ+ rights.
While not the entire reason, it being hosted in Serbia was part of my
decision to not attend RIPE85.

RIPE Meetings.
The RIPE Fellowship covers the cost of a meeting ticket, travel and
accommodation for successful candidates in the RIPE CC service region.
