Code of Conduct and Reporting Guidelines RC1 -- membership vote.

MN Matt Noyes Public Seen by 62

The Release Candidate Code of Conduct and Reporting Guidlelines were approved by the Community Working Group. Now they are proposed to the Social.Coop membership.

The documents are here:

Code of Conduct
https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/wikis/code-of-conduct/Code-of-Conduct-V3-Release-Candidate-1

Reporting Guidelines
https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/wikis/Reporting-Guide/Reporting-Guide-v3-Release-Candidate-1

We refer to them as Release Candidates to emphasize that they are subject to revision as we apply them and discover opportunities for improvement.

Following the bylaws (https://social.coop/bylaws), these two documents are posted here for six days for Social.Coop members to vote and comment. The text includes key elements in brackets -- these are procedural pieces that need to be determined by the CWG when it comes to implementing the CoC and RG. (In addition, Fabián Heredia, Matt Cropp and others are preparing Federation Guidelines that address off-instance violations, which will be discussed and adopted separately.)

For more info and background see the Git repo: https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/wikis/home as well as the various Community Working Group threads here on Loomio. (Starting here: https://www.loomio.org/d/nwTUWefP/exploring-a-code-of-conduct-for-members)

Outcome
by Matt Noyes Sun 2 Sep 2018 3:18PM

The Social.Coop Code of Conduct and Reporting Guidelines RC1 passed the membership vote. 49 out of 219 people voted, of those 87% voted Agree, 6% Voted Disagree, and 6% Abstained. There were no blocks.

The next step was to be for the Community Working Group to create the procedures and teams necessary to implement the CoC and RG. That step is on hold pending discussions about a possible re-organization of Social.Coop.

Suggestions made during the voting process are being included in updated versions of the CoC and RG, which may then be submitted to the membership for approval at at future date. See https://www.loomio.org/d/iuqQFGS6/code-of-conduct-reporting-guidelines-rc1-revisions-group

Please vote and comment on the proposed Code of Conduct and Reporting Guidelines RC1. The text includes key elements in brackets that are procedural pieces that will be determined by the Community Working Group (CWG) when it comes to implementing the CoC and RG. The CWG is empowered to amend the CoC and Reporting Guidelines in ways that don't substantially alter the intent.

Due to the recent issues around moderation this is an urgent matter. [See the CWG Embassy thread for more details]

It's great to see this happening. The only question I had is how report submission will work. But I guess that's TBD?

It's great to see this happening. The only question I had is how report submission will work (google forms, etc). But I guess that's TBD?

I'm voting in the affirmative understanding that this is urgently needed and that we will continue to update and improve upon this first version often. Thank you all who contributed.

My thanks to those who contributed substantial time and labor on this effort. The use of "we" in sections of the copy strikes me as less than optimal. But overall a very thorough document.
