Hey, I have been thinking about a global "anti-harassment committee". That is, a group of people involved not only in one community, but coming from various ones who could be contacted via a mail in case of any mistreatment. Unfortunately, this touches a lot to women (sexual harassment/assault, in general) but also, one could consider that a bad welcome to newly enrolled contributor is also a form of harassment. Since all the communities face these situations, my guess is it could be more efficient to have a global "committee". Otherwise, I fear (and this is also what I experienced when this happenned to me) that things are disconnected and less powerful. What do you think about this?
