I do not think this is about the CoC. It is about if and how a valid request by a community member is handled/answered (or not).

This is a matter of transparency and openness on the one side, and assumed things like respect, manners, decency, or just civil good behavior of holding to a given word/promise.

Marc can for sure just say, I/we do not want to publish the record. If there are no valid understandable reasons given for not publishing them, even if promised otherwise, OSGeo can say, ok thanks for letting us know, and draw their due consequence from this.

Improving the CoC is good, but for this case it does not really matter, I think. Everybody can see, that there were unnecessary offense given and taken... how could the best CoC in the world help prevent this situation?

    Personally I agree with you that it was an uncomfortable situation
    easy to misinterpret. I wasn't comfortable either reading it. (me,
    the person, not the board)


Agreed, I was neither.

    The thing is, we still have this "assume good intent" clause on
    the CoC that makes it kind of useless on the gray area.


I would suggest revising the CoC then, otherwise all the talk about supporting diversity is kind of done in vain imho

Cheers
