In bold, the CoC calls out, "Note that the goal of the Code of Conduct and the Working Group is to resolve conflicts in the most harmonious way possible." I fail to see how this goal can be accomplished without also reaching out to the person in question before reaching "a decision as to how to act". This is an oversight in the CoC as Aram was issued a private warning and told what he should have done instead without consulting him first. In fact, the preceding bullet point says "the Working Group may reach out to other community members for more context". It would appear the Working Group will reach out to everyone but the person in question (which might be characterized as a witch hunt). I don't think any reasonable person would object to receiving an email like "someone who wasn't comfortable contacting you directly felt threatened/degraded/etc by your comment here [...]" and seeing how the person in question would like to handle it *first *in an anonymous fashion before any decision by the working group is reached. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
