An updated draft RIPE Code of Conduct (CoC) is now published for your review. As this is intended to cover all participation within RIPE, it applies to interactions over the Internet, mailing lists, as well as in-person at RIPE Meetings.
i can live with it. but it does seem a bit over-prescriptive and legal. the community does seem to have grown more over-prescriptive and legal in general. i suspect rob would have said it in a dozen words. when asked to make rules for fidonet, tj said don't be excessively annoying. don't be easily annoyed. but those were different times. and we have had some ugly problems that should not be shoved under the rug. i just wonder if the document's detail and rigidity will pay off or be bait for nit-picking arguments and excuses. but, again, to be clear, i can live with it. randy --- randy@psg.com `gpg --locate-external-keys --auto-key-locate wkd randy@psg.com` signatures are back, thanks to dmarc header mangling
