The cost will be capped at $300, which falls within the budget for the current financial year. Ongoing expenses will be factored into our routine financial planning, when we set the budget for each financial year. >> * Moderation of public mailing lists (Carlos) ... >> * Allan - moderators will have to play a role in policing once we >> have a code of conduct - they are the ones who have the power to ban >> people.

You're absolutely right that procedures and guidelines will be required to deal with incident reports and to enforce a code of conduct. In that sense, a code of conduct isn't just a document that describes encouraged and prohibited behaviour, but is a framework for dealing with behavioural problems. You're right that it's a challenge, and there are a lot of details that will need to be worked out. One of those details is what role list moderators will have with regards to a code of conduct.
