Re: [Debconf-team] Revision of DebConf CoC

Hello,
[cc'ed to antiharassment@d.o to get their opinion as well since they
most likely will be the ppl who will need to enforce this code during
the future DebConfs]
During DebConf16 some ppl put some effort to rephrase parts of the code
of conduct. We'd like to gather opinions on this rephrasing in the hope
to get the new version, or an amended version, adopted.
The old code of conduct is:
https://debconf.org/codeofconduct.shtml
The new code of conduct can be found here:
https://titanpad.com/9l9d5GEMzA
I'm answering this mail but note that I've read the whole thread until
now :)
My reply will be long; I hope it is useful too.
I don't understand very well the reasoning behind creating a new
proposal almost from scratch.
I've tried to put some time on analyzing the proposal and read the
comments that people already wrote to the list.
With the help of my favorite diff tool, I tried to break down the
changes, to differentiate the small changes than the big changes, and
then, comment on those, and make a new proposal.
I'm attaching 3 documents:
The current code of conduct (debconf_coc_current.txt)
The proposal that is on the table (debconf_coc_proposal2.txt)
A second proposal that I put on the table (debconf_coc_proposal2.txt)
[note: I've inserted breaklines in the 3 documents at approx 70-80
chars, matching the end of lines so it's easier to find the differences
in the wording. I use Meld as diff tool.]
Now, section by section, my comments on the first proposal (the draft
that was in the titanpad and I've named debconf_coc_proposal.txt), and
thus, reasoning behind my proposal (which I've named
debconf_coc_proposal2.txt):
A.- In a nutshell:
I think it is not necessary and can make people not read the whole
document. I would remove it and add a table of contents, plus numbering
each section and paragraph. This way we can point the particular
sentence that explains a violation of the CoC, or that we recommend to
read and think about it to somebody.
[note: in the attached document about the proposal from the titanpad,
I've moved the "In a nutshell" text to the bottom, so the diff on the
rest of the text is easier].
B.- Our goal:
I think the preamble of the current CoC is shorter and almost enough.
This proposal "Our goal" includes summary of what is explained later
(e.g. the paragraph about Anti Harassment team is mentioned later in
"Questions?"). I've tried to catch the important bits that are not
mentioned in other sections, and make an alternative proposal, trying to
keep the text short.
This is my proposal:
* Change the title "Our goal" for three:
"1.- Preamble", with the text (same as first paragraph of the current CoC):
"1.1.- DebConf, as part of the greater Debian Community, assumes good
faith on all those who wish to improve Debian. However, other
experiences at other conferences have shown us the need to adopt a Code
of Conduct in which we state our expectations of all attendees and
organizers during the Debian Conference. "
"2.- Scope"
"2.1.- This code of conduct applies to all participants at DebConf
(organisers, volunteers, speakers, attendees, guests), in addition to
the [Debian code of conduct] that applies to the Debian community as a
whole.
2.2.- This code of conduct apply to DebConf, as well as all related
events, including those organised inofficially, such as excursions,
evenings at the pub, sports, and other.
2.3.- The rules of the venue and related facilities also apply, within
the boundaries of the venue. They are explained [here](link to a
document provided by the venue, if any)."
"3.- Be excellent to each other"
"3.1.- DebConf is committed to providing a safe environment for all
participants. All attendees are expected to treat all people and
facilities with respect and help create a welcoming environment.
3.2.- DebConf is committed to the ideals expressed in our Diversity
Statement (link). We ask all participants to adopt these principles. For
easyness, we quote here the Debian Diversity statement:
Debian Diversity statement [...]
3.3.- We are a diverse community. Sometimes this means we need to work
harder to ensure we're creating an environment of trust and respect
where all who come to participate feel comfortable and included. We
value your participation and appreciate your help in realizing this goal."
C.- Do your part
I would remove all this section. The paragraph kept from the old CoC
("we are a diverse community...") I would keep it in the section "Be
excelent to each other".
Reasons:
* "Do your part" is the whole CoC (be respecful, be inclusive, be aware,
too).
* I think this is a list of advice on how to act if you experience or
witness behavior that does not respect the CoC. They are not a standard
protocol nor rules to obey, they are more advice. They can be moved for
example to an immutable wiki page under wiki.debian.org/AntiHarassment
as useful help.
* Note that I've also removed the corresponding sentence about how to
act from the old "Be excellent to each other", because I think it fits
better in the "What does it mean to me?"
D.- Be respectful
The proposal is the same as the current CoC. I agree. I would number the
section and paragraphs.
E.- Be inclusive
The 3 first paragraphs (about meeting people in real life, invite people
to your circles, please wear your own badge) I would remove them because
I think they are advices and not rules to obey. They can go to the wiki
page I mentioned before, or to a wiki page in wiki.debconf.org with
recommendations to attendants (in that wiki page we can also link to the
"New to DebConf" talks/BoFs of DebConf15 and DebConf16.
We can discuss if we require people to wear their badges or not. I don't
have a clear opinion about it; I don't know if it's required for the
venue that everybody wears something visible indicating that they are
DebConf attendants, or not. In any case, if the goal is to ease breaking
ice etc, I would state it as a recommendation, and in a positive tone,
not a negative one. For example:
1.- Please carry always your name badge with you, so you can prove you
are attendant to DebConf if required. <<< this is the rule (if we need it)
2.- We recommend to wear your name badge it visible to others, to make
easier for them to [communicate with|aproach] you.
The paragraph starting with "By default, all presentation..." until the
end of this section, I agree with the proposed text, except that I would
like somebody to clarify about the change of "should" into "must" (I'm
not a native English speaker and I don't know very well the difference.
I also don't know if the meaning of both verbs are the same for UK and USA).
F.- Be aware
I agree to remove the part "We ask everyone to be aware that " in the
first paragraph.
I agree with the wording of the second paragraph "Complaints can be made
..."
The third paragraph, about the measures that can be taken, I need to
think about it a little bit more.
I agree to move the paragraph about responsibility of costs ("Debian,
the DebConf organisers, and the venue...") from the bottom of the
DebConf CoC (where it is currently) to the last paragraph of the section
"Be aware", as it is proposed now.
G.- What does that mean for me?
I would change:
"All participants, including event attendees, speakers, and organisers,"
to be consistent with my proposed wording at the first section:
"All participants: organisers, volunteers, speakers, attendees, guests,"
The rest of the section, I agree with the wording, plus:
* behaviour -> behavior.
* I would add a paragraph right after the first, with the sentences
about how to act if you witness something:
"If you notice behavior that fails to meet these standards, please speak
up and help to keep DebConf as respectful as we expect it to be."
H.- Questions
I agree with the new wording.
I would move the first paragraph of "Our promise to you" of the
proposal, to this "Questions" section:
"The anti-harassment team is a closed group of people dedicated to
dealing with conflicts and difficult situations. Please see [the wiki
page](https://wiki.debian.org/AntiHarassment) to find out who is serving
on the team."
(and I would change "to find out who is serving on the team." into "to
find out who is serving on the team and some recommendations on how to
help in promoting or restoring the welcoming environment in Debian and
DebConf").
(and then, add in wiki.debian.or/AntiHarassment the advices that we
removed before, links to "new to debconf" talks, etc).
I.- Our Promise to You
* As I said, the first paragraph I would move it to the former section.
"* We will read every complaint with diligence." -> "* We will handle
every complaint with diligence."
The new line " * Depending on the situation, we may enforce immediate
consequences, even before further investigation." does not look like a
promise to me; I would move it up to the "Be aware" section.
The last line " * Depending on the situation, we will talk to the
reporter, the reported, or both to determine what mediation and/or
action is necessary." does not look like a promise to me, either; I
would move it up to the "Be aware" section. If we want to keep a
promise, an alternative wording could be:
* "We understand that there are always two sides to any incident, and we
strive to hear both. However, our priority is to restore safety and
comfort for everyone at the conference."
That's all, for now. I hope I can put some more time in the following
days, to complete my comments on the "Be aware" section.
Thanks

CURRENT
DebConf Code of Conduct
DebConf, as part of the greater Debian Community, assumes good faith
on all those who wish to improve Debian. However, other experiences at
other conferences have shown us the need to adopt a Code of Conduct in
which we state our expectations of all attendees and organizers during
the Debian Conference.
This code of conduct applies to all attendees at DebConf, in addition
to the Debian code of conduct that applies to the Debian community as
a whole.
Debian Diversity Statement
The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone.
No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we
welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone as long as they
interact constructively with our community.
While much of the work for our project is technical in nature, we
value and encourage contributions from those with expertise in other
areas, and welcome them into our community.
############################
Be excellent to each other
############################
DebConf is committed to providing a safe environment for all
participants. All attendees are expected to treat all people and
facilities with respect and help create a welcoming environment.
If
you notice behavior that fails to meet this standard, please speak up
and help to keep DebConf as respectful as we expect it to be.
DebConf is committed to the ideals expressed in our Diversity
Statement (above) and the recently adopted Debian Code of Conduct. We
ask all our members, speakers, volunteers, attendees and guests to
adopt these principles.
We are a diverse community. Sometimes this means we need to work harder
to ensure we're creating an environment of trust and respect where all
who come to participate feel comfortable and included.
We value your participation and appreciate your help in realizing this
goal.
######################
Be respectful
######################
Respect yourself, and respect others.
Be courteous to those around you.
If someone indicates they don't wish to be photographed, respect that
wish.
If someone indicates they would like to be left alone, let them be.
Our event venues and online spaces may be shared with members of the
public; please be considerate to all patrons of these locations, even
if
they are not involved in the conference.
######################
Be inclusive
######################
By default, all presentation material should be suitable for people aged
12 and above.
If you could reasonably assume that some people may be
offended by your talk, please state so explicitly in the
submission notes.
This will be taken into account by the Content Team. In case you are unsure
if this applies to you, please contact the Content Team at
content@debconf.org.
Please note that you are solely responsible if
anything is deemed inappropriate and you did not contact the Content
Team beforehand.

We will not tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive,
discriminatory or derogatory behavior by anyone at any Debian event
or
in related online media.
Complaints can be made to the organizers
by contacting the
registration desk or emailing antiharassment@debian.org. All complaints
made to event organizers will remain confidential and be
taken seriously. The complaint will be treated appropriately and with
discretion.
Should event organizers or moderators consider it
appropriate, measures they may take can include:
* the individuals may be told to apologize
* the individuals may be told to stop/modify their behavior
appropriately
* the individuals may be warned that enforcement action may be taken
if the behavior continues
* the individuals may be asked to immediately leave the venue and/or
will be prohibited from continuing to attend any part of the event
* the incident may be reported to the appropriate authorities
######################
What does that mean for me?
######################
All participants, including event attendees and speakers must not
engage in any intimidation, harassment, or abusive or discriminatory
behavior.
The following is a list of examples of behavior that
is deemed highly inappropriate and will not be tolerated at DebConf:
* offensive verbal or written remarks related to gender, sexual
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or
religion;
* sexual or violent images in public spaces (including presentation
slides);
* deliberate intimidation;
* stalking or following;
* unwanted photography or recording;
* sustained disruption of talks or other events;
* unwelcome physical contact or other forms of assault;

PROPOSAL
DebConf Code of Conduct
Our goal
As organisers of DebConf, we strive to ensure that every participant
can
feel comfortable and make productive and enjoyable use of their time
at
our conference.
We embrace diversity and value that our conference thrives upon the
different backgrounds, personalities, traits, and preferences of our
attendees. We fully stand behind the [Debian Diversity
Statement](https://www.debian.org/intro/diversity).
Our conference is an official Debian community event: The [Debian Code
of Conduct](https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct) applies in full.
We acknowledge, however, that these rules are not enough in the
context
of a convention of hundreds of people from diverse backgrounds,
sharing
physical space for several days in an intense working and socialising
environment.
The purpose of this DebConf Code of Conduct is to set forth additional
rules and procedures to maintain your safety and comfort.
These rules apply to DebConf, as well as all related events, including
those organised inofficially, such as excursions, evenings at the pub,
sports, and other events.
We require every attendee to abide by and uphold these rules. There
are
no exceptions, not for speakers, not for guests, and not for
organisers.
If your space, dignity, or freedom has been violated, every member of
the organisation team is available to help. We have a dedicated
[Debian
anti-harrassment team](https://wiki.debian.org/AntiHarassment), and
clearly defined processes enabling timely action to restore your
safety
and that of others.
We promise to handle every incident with due diligence and full
respect
for your privacy and confidentiality.
############################
Be excellent to each other (Do your part)
############################
We are a diverse community. Sometimes this means we need to work harder
to ensure we're creating an environment of trust and respect where all
who come to participate feel comfortable and included.
In addition to abiding by these rules, you can help us maintain a safe
space for everyone.
If you witness behaviour that is disrespectful or in violation of any
of
our rules, and you are comfortable to do so, please speak up and point
out that the behaviour in question could make other people
uncomfortable.
Instead of confronting someone in a group (which could make them feel
cornered), it might be better to take them aside, or ask one of their
peers to carry on the message.
Conversely, if you are told that your behaviour may have been
inappropriate, don't take it as an attack on yourself, nor should you
feel compelled to defend yourself. The best course of action is to
apologise, try to understand what happened, and to avoid doing it
again.
People come from different backgrounds with different social
standards.
Please assume good intent in everyone's actions, but do not ever use
that as an excuse for yourself, or let it stand as an excuse. It might
help amplify an apology, though. Help each other to create a
comfortable
environment for everyone.
When in doubt, or you have any questions, do not hesitate to approach
the organisers for help or advice. All matters will be treated
confidentially.

######################
DebConf is about meeting people in real life. Please be aware that the
people around you may not speak your language, and be mindful of
different levels of English comprehension and speaking abilities.
Invite people into your circles and do not be afraid to join other
circles. When respect and trust prevail, DebConf is a fantastic
platform
to meet wonderful people with amazing dedication and skills. Help make
it so, and make use of it.
Please always wear your (own) name badge visible to others. You might
not think you need it, but there are people who won't know your name
and
might feel uncomfortable not being able to find out for themselves.
By default, all presentation material must be suitable for people aged
12 and above.
If you could reasonably assume that some people may be
offended by your material, please state so explicitly in the
submission notes.
You remain solely responsible for your content and your
message.
The [Content Team](mailto:content@debconf.org) can provide guidance in
case you're unsure.
######################

We will not tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive,

taken seriously and handled discretely and confidentially.
[TODO: a phone number?]
In minor cases, the event organisers will ask the offenders to
apologise
and modify their behaviours.
On repeated offense, or in non-minor cases, the following actions will
be enforced, depending on the severity of the offense:
* immediate ban from the venue for the remainder of the day, and
possibly the next day;
* immediate ban from the rest of the conference;
* immediate ban from the rest of the conference, and all future
conferences;
* immediate ban from the Debian Project;
* public statement about the incident by the conference organisers;
* report of the incident to the appropriate authorities.
We understand that there are always two sides to any incident, and we
strive to hear both. However, our priority is to restore safety and
comfort for everyone at the conference. Therefore, we reserve the
right
to enforce a consequence first, depending on the severity of the
situation.
Debian, the DebConf organisers, and the venue in which DebConf is
being
held cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred by the
dismissal
from the conference. By registering, you explicitly agree to this.

9.3.- We understand that there are always two sides to any incident,
and we strive to hear both. However, our priority is to restore safety
and comfort for everyone at the conference.
