my naïve view is that, if the ncc is an organiser, then the coc MUST apply.

We strongly believe that all RIPE NCC-organised events should follow the same CoC, and we think this is something the community should be able to agree on. ….

The RIPE NCC is of course free to make rules within its area of responsibility. I expect that this will happen in the RIPE tradition by consulting the communities along the lines Mirjam and Niall are setting out within this discussion and not by unilateral action on the part of the RIPE NCC. I hope that the RIPE NCC will be able to keep facilitating local and regional communities while respecting the local codes and customs. Very probably this discussion is another symptom of how the pandemic influences our discourse by preventing face to face, informal and group interactions. I apologise for my part in this. We may very well all pretty much agree. ;-) Daniel
