b. I would also want to make a suggestion:
Perhaps it is of value to run a simulate instance of violation (as a CoC training game) and try to handle the situation
I recommend "non-violent communication" training in conflict-resolution (there are many teachers & groups that can do this, I can provide references on request). There are also online courses: for example: http://nvctraining.com/media/_2019/ML-RM/social-change/index.html A while ago I've sent links to specific CoC-team training: https://otter.technology/code-of-conduct-training/ Another example: Workshops by Leigh Honeywell: https://rightscon2018.sched.com/event/Ec6c/ally-skills-workshop https://rightscon2018.sched.com/event/EZj0/identifying-abusive-behaviour And to quote a wise woman: " I'd like to add that we need to remind ourselves from time to time that minorities are not the problem. If we keep focusing on them / us, we might forget to address the actual problem (white supremacist, capitalist, toxic masculine culture) and the people within it who hold the power to make structural changes :) " So after we are done training small groups, I'd love to see a Monday-morning tutorial or a workshops during the BoF timeslot on some of those topics... and/or plenary talk(s) with the above-mentioned topics.
