hi gergana, [ top posting reversed ]
my naïve view is that, if the ncc is an organiser, then the coc MUST apply.
if i am asked to be on (or chair) a panel which has no under-represented folk, i decline, making the reason very clear.
I don't think of the SEE, MENOG and ENOG communities as "distinct from RIPE", rather than sub-communities of RIPE.
i might phrase is as comminities *within* ripe; i.e. not subordinate to. but that is likely my over-sensitivity.
These communities don't have a separate Chair or Working Groups and their members participate in and are subject to the RIPE-community-developed policies, which is why to me they are an integral part of the RIPE community.
so are these communities then relevant? my point was intended more to the ripe community or the ncc providing meeting coordination with an external group, e.g. Euro IoT Regulatory Wannabes. imiho, the coc virus would be more beneficial than the gpl virus. :) you hang out with us, you behave civily. randy --- randy@psg.com `gpg --locate-external-keys --auto-key-locate wkd randy@psg.com` signatures are back, thanks to dmarc header butchery
