Just a comment from the peanut gallery.
How do the organisers derive their authority to take actions, especially those that deprive the violator of something, such as exclusion from an event without a refund, and how well will this stack up against the appropriate law?
Article 4.7 of the RIPE Meeting Terms & Conditions ( https://www.ripe.net/about-us/legal/ripe-meeting-registration-terms-and-cond... ) states: "4.7 The Registrant acknowledges, understands and agrees that at the Meeting people from different experiences, backgrounds and views exchange ideas in a respectful manner and it is expected from all participants, including the Registrant, to demonstrate tolerance and respect to everyone. If the Registrant fails to act accordingly, the RIPE NCC reserves the right to exclude the Registrant’s attendance from the Meeting, without being liable to pay any refund of the price of the Ticket or any other damages." So that's pretty clear. It can be easily amended to specifically mention the CoC when we get to that point.
